If you are not in a large city (DC, Boston, New York, Chicago, etc.), move to one. My first job paid $9.25/hr. I was an office temp for 2 months. I networked like crazy and 2 months later I was doing web "stuff." I got this job through someone I met. It wasn't glamorous. I was scanning word documents and books, proof reading them, and formatting them with HTML. It wasn't glamorous, but I got to work with some great people. Some of which led me to a better job later. In the evenings, I volunteered my time helping setup a server room and doing reinstalls when employees left. I didn't get paid for this b/c I wanted to learn and volunteered for the sake of doing so.
Never stop meeting people. Always be learning. If you read Hart's book and it doesn't stick. Do it again. Once you're done with it a 2nd time, then go over to CodeSchool.com and work through Rails for Zombies 2 ($20/mo.).
Good Luck!
- keiferski 14y agoWell I can't exactly get up and move to a large city at the moment (I'm in a college town and I just signed a lease). I will look up some meetups, though. Thanks.
- late2part 14y agoMany states allow you to break a job if you are moving for a job. http://www.lsnjlaw.org/english/placeilive/irentmyhome/tenantsrights/chapterfive/index.cfm http://www.lsnjlaw.org/english/placeilive/irentmyhome/tenant...
- Johngibb 14y agoTypo: "break a lease" I'm assuming?
- subway 14y agoThis typically has very little to do with the state, and everything to do with the particular lease. Your link provides no supporting evidence for your statement. If you move out before the end of the lease, the landlord may be able to hold you responsible for the rent that becomes due until the apartment or house is rented again, or until the lease ends.
