Read some skipped most... I was a traveling nurse for a bit, but I had a girlfriend at the time so I never really let go of Ohio.
It's a big step.. I say if you can sell all your material possessions with no lady friend.. go for it. The housing is going to be a brutal blow compared to Ohio.
I was shacked up in a Red Roof Inn in New Haven, Ct for 1200 a month. Sounds decent on paper.
Untill every pimp or drug dealer rents the room across the hall from you and you hear a knock every ten mins. OR my favorite.. the construction crew who acted out all the WWE events every night on full blast wresting each other. Nothing like having a day off and being kept up by beer bottles and dry wall breaking.
Sometimes I wonder how things would be different if I would've went to Cali.. but I bought a house in the country in Ohio.
TLDR... no gf.. no cars your can't part with go.
Pack up go. nothing to lose
