One of my relatives is seriously considering a cross-country move. Would you do it? She doesn't even have a job lined up! She just keeps talking about how she wants a "new start."

If she's motivated, she'll make it work. I did far more extreme. I moved continents. But because I was self employed I just took my work with me and found new clients.

I don't think I would consider a cross-country move until I at least had some type of work lined up. New places do mean new opportunities but at the same time, you can only survive so long off savings. If I had a job lined up, though, I wouldn't hesitate.

But see the thing is that if you are motivated enough to take anything that comes along, there will be work. If you are the sort of person who has always worked, be it flipping burgers or cleaning cars, then you can find something until the ideal job comes along.
Thanks for the input, everyone. I just don't know about this cross-country move of hers. She went through with it, even though she had no job lined up and no place to live. Right now she's staying in a motel and paying by the week, but she's already almost blown through all of her tax refund money. Once that runs out, I don't know what she'll do, because she definitely isn't the type of person to just "take anything." She's one that refused several job offers here because they weren't "first shift" positions.
What really makes me mad is the fact that she pulled her kids out of school to do this and then moved and didn't bother putting them back in school at the new place.
