Yep, that's where I just got it in my mind to move to: Boulder, Colorado.
Having spent my entire (relatively short) life between Washington DC and New
York City, I'm prepared for quite a culture shock.
My question for those that may be familiar with Boulder or even just that type
of area is whether I should expect finding a decent bartending job to be
significantly easier, more difficult, or pretty much the same compared to DC
where I live now. I have no idea what to expect. Obviously there are a lot
fewer (and less "hip") bars in a place like that, but then there are less
people too. And the first thing that jumps out at me looking at real estate
ads is how much lower the cost of living is over there, meaning I wouldn't
really have to find the kind of job one needs to live in comfort in DC. My
experience is pretty modest; just six months of bartending at a family-owned
Greek restaurant. It's a pretty shitty job by DC standards, but if I made the
same kind of money in Boulder I'd be living in style. ;)
For what it's worth, I'm actually planning to get a more. . . uh, "regular"
job out there. But in case that doesn't work out (I'm a night person, after
all) or I want some extra income, I just wanted to get an idea of what I can
expect before I tumble into this strange world of mountains, bike paths, and
uncongested highways. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
