Hi, Guest
I know a guy that moved to Alberta from North Bay. He told us it was personal issues but he really wanted in on the tail end of the "boom" out there.
He is working in an auto parts store as a supervisor because he can't land a job in his field.
Make sure you're moving to where the jobs are, not where you want to do your job.
If you're looking to strike out on your own right now, double and triple check the numbers, the demand, the financing.... everything. This IS a recession we're in right now and the market for a start-up car customization house might be kinda flat.
Personally, I'd hunker down and look at switching the job you have now for something else in a comparable wage bracket and then open your shop on the side. Toronto is THE biggest car audio market in Canada, bar none. Same for custom car shops... doubly so when you build in the entire GTA and some of the Horseshoe. Maybe you can build on to an existing small custom shop, or rent space at a larger one.
Options, man... options. You've gotta eat, too. :)
