Hi everyone, first time i post here but im really facing a tough decision and need some good advice. I am a recent college grad (Education) with work experience, i am originally from miami, fl but went to school to Puerto Rico cause of lower cost of education. I am planning on relocating to chicago so i was wondering how is the job market there and since i have no job lined up how long will it take to get a decent job. I have some money saved up but im worried i will blow all my savings out. I will consider to relocate where necessary though.

So why did you ask about the job market and mention you had a degree in education?

Don't do it. And if you are in higher education as I am, just run, run far far away.
