Vegas can be like any other city, don't take it from the perception of being here with the intent to party for 4 days straight and get no sleep. There are things aside from the Vegas Strip.
Overall, I have a career I love (which I found out here, didn't move here FOR it) and a house of my own. I'm 27, btw...
If you need to know any specifics, feel free to hit me.
EDIT: As stated above, opportunities are EVERYWHERE out here. If you can network, you'll be set. The job I'm at now found me while working at Best Buy.I wanted to transfer within the company to be assured of employment when I got out here...
If you're not much of a party guy, you should be fine. There's plenty to do out here, and most things are 24/7.Originally Posted by MrTracerBullet
Im glad to hear it worked out for you. Im not much of a party guy anyway. Thanks for the info.

One or two companies have it pretty locked out here. If you're part of a large company that has a branch out here you're probably okay, but be careful if its a smaller firm. The one my boy worked for had to close up shop in Vegas, because he handled all the accounts, and his boss couldn't afford to pay him anymore with no other outside accounts. Ironically, his boss closed up shop to move to SoCal and keep the operations going out there. This was a little less than 2 years ago.
Exactly.... Thats life. Live it.Originally Posted by MrTracerBullet
You know thats what im thinking... Its a new opportunity, fresh start to make something of myself. I guess I should just stop being a P about it and step up and see what happens.
