How to find a new place to live and work?
I just finished my 2nd year at college and right now I'm currently living in a very small MN town with my parents. My parents recently moved to a much smaller house, so I sleep on a nice concrete floor every night. There are also no employment opportunities in the area. I have a car and about $2000, what steps would I have to do if I want to move to the big city (Minneapolis)?

First of all,moving to a city is the best idea!!! there are way more opportunities in a city and better jobs! Secondly! if your living with your parents and sleeping on concrete..you have got to move!!! period.

With only $2k between you and starvation you need to do everything not to misspend that money. If you have friends or family in Minneapolis then contact them to see if they could put you up until you find work and an apartment. Otherwise start working the phones and try to find work in that way. You don't say about any skills or work experience that you have so I suspect that you are unskilled. If that is the case then you will only be able to find work in entry level positions that usually don't pay well enough to pay for an apartment and food. If you know of anyone else in your town that also wants to make a move you might be able to each take low pay jobs and rent something together until you get your feet on the ground. It is always easier if you have already established contacts where you are going. You may also want to think outside the box and base your search for a city on friends and family. For example if not Minneapolis then maybe Chicago, Milwaukee, Nashville or wherever. Then again it could be better to tough it out where you are and try to get a scholarship in another college and finish your degree. But, if you move, your education will slide because you will be caught up in the rat race of just trying to live. Your $2k will be gone in no time.
