Well that's where you live now. Average worker changes jobs 12 times in a career. Is your plan to just move 12 times (and pay the costs associated with that)? Or work at the same job for much longer (and pay the costs associated with that)?
One of the benefits of living in a large metro area is the amount of job opportunities, but it you put an 8 minute circle around your residence and only look for jobs within that, that negates those benefits.
- adamjb 5y agoIf you're going to bring averages into it, the average 18 year old has ~9 moves remaining in their life, meaning that they'd only move an extra 3 times. https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/...
- paulcole 5y agoIf you live in a dense area, it’s not hard to switch jobs, keep a similar commute, and not move. I’ve had 4 jobs over the past 14 years, moved once, and never had a bicycle commute longer than 25 minutes.
