I want to move from Long Island to CO/WA/NC/TX/TN (Colorado Springs: apartments)

Maybe you should look at enrolling in school full time in one of these places. They are all quite different from one another and we'd know more information about what you want to help steer you to one. Of all the ones you mentioned, Colorado Springs would be the highest elevation and probably the driest climate and perhaps the coolest, although we're not "cold" by many people's standards. As for jobs, apartments, etc., - without direction in a particular field it is hard for me to think what information to give you. The job market is okay here - not booming, still recovering.

Thanks for replying. I'm actually not really open to going back to school. I've tried it, and I just don't have a passion strong enough to be motivated to dedicate myself to school again. I love the cold weather so that wouln't bother me. I'm realy just trying to find out what a job would be that I'd have a relatively easy time finding in order to live out there.

I am not sure - what jobs have you had, what training have you had, what skill sets do you have? There's always retail/service but that field does not pay that well generally speaking. I think you'll have to be creative and find some enterprise that interests you that you can turn into a career.
