Title: If everything fell apart...
Post by: jerue on Thu, 17 September 2015, 08:37:59
Say a major life event happens that royally f&@#*s you over (losing your job, divorce, committed a felony etc.), what would you do?

Me, I would move to New York City and make pizza.  :)

Why's it gotta fall apart to make moves? Three years ago I moved 900 miles west from my hometown to work my dream job. My second time in Ohio was to shop for an apartment.

But actually, my backup plan is the same as the OP. If I can no longer persue my current career or my side jobs, I'd move to NYC and open a pizzeria. Truly a failsafe plan :P.

I keep waiting for things to fall apart. Work especially, it's been like roller coaster for some time now.

I've put a lot of thought into it but I still have no idea what else to do.

They say the average job only lasts ~2yrs now, I've been here for almost 6.  :-\

It'd be a straight shot to either Colorado or Washington.

Life definitely doesn't have to fall apart to make moves, I would just make different moves otherwise.

Also, time for me and CPT to make pizza together. Geekhack meetups at the pizza joint!

Ha, I've already told you guys...it doesn't matter WHO sits in the White House. That person is just a figurehead, anyway. Trump is just as good/bad as the next.

It doesn't matter that Trump wouldn't be able to do anything, the important part is that he'd be the face of American diplomacy, and have you ever heard him talk about other countries? Everyone would be nuking us in no time!

Not likely. But the coming collapse of 2018 has less influence by the US, anyway. Global market failures and widespread currency inflation are going to combine to make for some really bad news for everyone.

Well in this scenario "everything has fallen apart", so yeah I'd probably have no money when I got there.

Man, I take this totally different.  My life is chaotic causality.  I don't fight entropy, I just go where it takes me.  If tomorrow it all fell apart, it would be no different than the day before.  A diverse skill set, no roots planted, and an abused liver can get you through anything.
