Another Restart? Need Advice
2 years ago
General
Dear Furiends,
I quit my job. I was an admin for a 4I home (think group home for adults with severe behavioral disorders). I worked 5 day a week and in the last week had worked over 24 hrs of overtime, also dealing with the police and the hospital (one client hospitalized and one got arrested). No matter how hard I worked it was met with “you needed to do more.” Meanwhile we were understaffed for how the admins wanted us staffed, but weren’t much help. One of them even went to Hawaii.
So here I am without a job again. My lease expires at the end of April, but I need to make a decision to stay in Palm Springs by the end of March. Im contemplating moving to Las Vegas, NV due to cheaper rent, and possibly better job opportunities. Im just worried about making another WRONG decision and not being able to cut it. This move would mean saying goodbye to
Fortuneotter my real life brother and emotional support animal. It’s a lot to think about and a lot to figure out. I would appreciate any and all advice.

If anything, if the prospect of new job opportunities are good, go where they take you. At the same time, with it being Las Vegas, I can't stress the importance of be careful. I don't live there but I have at leadt two friends I know who do, and it's my understanding that because of it being a tourist-based city with the casinos and resorts, crime is a big issue with the locals. Don't take my word for it, that's just what I've heard on a consistent basis with them.
