Move to San Diego

It turns out this goal may be able to be accomplished sooner than I originally projected. I found out that I can transfer my credential program to San Diego State. I’m currently working that out, but if I get accepted, then I will definitely transfer, definitely move, and definitely become 100 times happier than I already am. If all goes as planned then this goal can be accomplished sometime this summer.

Well, I know I have “Move to Seattle” as one of my goals, but I’ve been thinking about it, and 1 year 8 months is very very far away, so I should keep a realistic approach to this. Lately, I’ve become interested in San Diego, CA as a place to move, and it would be a more logical choice since I will have a California Teaching credential. Then, I could teach down there, get my CLEAR credential, and be more marketable and able to move to different states as a teacher. Plus, my sister lives there. And I miss her. And it’s a NEW area, but it’s also familiar since I’ve visited and stayed with my sister many times. This new locale is definitely high on my list of where to move in June of 2011.

Augh! I wanna move now!

...lives in the SD. I should probably live in the same town as him, no?

Just finished spending the weekend in Southern California – I reminded me how much I love San Diego. Hubby and I have both started our Job search in the area…

I’m finishing my freshman year of college in eastern Pennsylvania. My plan is to continue at my university for the fall ‘09 semester then transfer to a community in San Diego, CA. Obviously, I’m a poor college student, so this very well may be an “unwise” move on my part. However, it’s what I’m doing and I’m damned stubborn about it. I believe this can work and no matter what I’ll be happy with my decision. I’m moving in with an old friend of mine out there, but I’ll need cold, hard advice on expenses, budgeting for the SoCal environment, and job searching while doing going to a community college (for a year or so – until I’m considered a full-fledged California resident, then university!). Would you recommend part-time school, full-time job or the other way around? Again, any past experience of yours or thoughts are welcome. Thanks! :)

I too, have a one year old daughter, and I am really wanting to move to San Diego a) before she’s settled in daycare – she’s never been, b) before I buy a house and c) before I turn 40!!!

I’ve been in Sacramento for the last 11 years and I’ve hated about 10 1/2 years of it; I got stuck here because of a sister and friends. But at this point, I heard the school systems, weather, ocean, and city of San Diego are AMAZING to say the least. I want to move there, unsight, unseen or whatever that’s called.

Im normally a Marketing Manager in banking/finance, with some Project Management experience. And though I’ve seen tons of jobs which I’ve been applying to, I’m not getting a SINGLE response. I can only assume it’s because I have a Sacramento address on my resume. Does anyone have any experience with this? The only thing I can think to do is to get a mailbox online, but you have to do a lot of stuff to do that.

Lastly, I guess I’m just nervous to pack up my house (we rent) and daughter and do something so sort of crazy. I mean, I used to move a lot in my 20s and teens, but I was by myself….

Anyway, I would LOVE people’s thoughts, and/or similar experiences!

I am from San Diego. Somehow, through my travels and adventures, I ended up on the east coast. I wanted to do something crazy after graduation, to get out there and experience the world instead of just reading about it in college textbooks. Here I am, eight years older, I have a college degree, I have been all over the world, I have lived in three different states since I left SD (moved so much because of work), and there is no better place in the world to me than San Diego. I will be moving back there in a few months but I am worried about started all over again there. Most of my friends there have since moved away and I feel like I will be a stranger in a great big strange city, although I did spend 18 wonderful years there.

I live on the East Coast and plan on moving to San Diego after High School graduation. Which is six months away. I have a place to stay and a free ride there, plus my best friend is moving in with me after a year. I would love to attend college for creative writing and photography, which seems to be narrowing more towards photojournalism.
I’m super excited to start a new life. I’m nervous and scared because it seems so soon. It’s just something I feel I have to do.

Hi everyone…I currently live in NJ and thinking about moving to San Diego to be with my boyfriend. He’s a Marine and is stationed out there. I have a good paying job now but looking for a change. Im scared but excited too. Can anyone give advice about nice apartment complexes near MCAS, jobs out there and any tips on moving to SD. Greatly appreciate it.

i live in South Florida which is totally awesome. I grew up here and have been a teacher for five years. my best friend has moved to San Diego and loves it. I was married for eight years and now I am on my own once again. My best bud has told me to move over there with him, but I fear one thing.I am a teacher and our pay is not so great. I keep hearing that San Diego is so expensive. I want to know if anyone has moved from miami to san diego and if so how much more expensive can it be. I mean Miami is expensive.
