I've started researching the work options for nurses in Chicago and it does seem like there are plenty of them! What are some of your favorite parts about living in Chicago? I love Chicago. It's very cultured and diverse. There is something for everybody there, I suppose. It's a lot like my hometown, Detroit, but just much bigger. But it still gives that mid-western, industrial back-bone feel. It's great. Good to hear! I am thinking more and more about living in Chicago for some time. Was it much of an adjustment moving from Detroit to Chicago? No, not really. They are both very blue-collar cities, so it wasn't a whole lot of adjustment. It's only about a 5 hour drive from Detroit to Chicago, so I've actually spent a lot of time here in the past! So I guess you could say I was already quite familiar with it. You should definitely consider it if you're looking to move! They do have great nursing schools here. Excellent to hear! Chicago is definitely near the top of my list, and I might like to try Detroit someday too. I'm not very familiar with American cities overall though. Why did you move to Chicago originally? I left Michigan for more work opportunities and higher pay. Michigan has been struggling financially for quite some while, and I wanted to distance myself more from my father's farming business and be more independent. Chicago is definitely a place to discover yourself! Oh, okay, interesting. I can understand why you'd want to get out of agriculture. What type of work are you doing now? Right now, I am working part time in a restaurant, while also doing odd jobs and handyman jobs in my free time with the skills I've picked up on the farm. Turns out I can be quite handy! How is nursing school going for you? Not too bad! It's pretty difficult work, but I feel like I'm picking it up at a good pace and adjusting well enough. I am hoping that I can finish within the next year if I maintain a good pace. How do you find customers for handy work? Mostly in craigslist, or from my business's Facebook page. There are so many people in Chicago, so it seems I found a good niche if I keep my prices competitive.  Yeah, I believe that. I feel like people always need some work done. Part of what interests me about nursing is that there's always going to be demand for healthcare Yes, it's a sad truth that your career path will always be in demand. Always has been and always will be! But I guess you can sleep better at night knowing you have the best job security. Not to mention, how blessed it is to devote your life to the helping of others.
