cross country prep... Any tips?

It's not looking good for me here in So-Cal with losing my job, losing my house, and not having the money to keep myself afloat. So I'm thinking I'll end up moving back to West Virginia.

Are you looking for a new job? What do you do? I know of a bunch of tech jobs in Colorado... in which case you'd only have to drive /halfway/ across the nation.

Tire sealant/inflator might be a good idea. They sell them in any autoparts for $2-3 bucks.

well I never had a career of any kind. I had my auto-tech license in WV but it died when I couldn't get a job there after 3 years. And I left all the tools I had aquired out there, out there. I was a parts driver for a Honda dealership here and right now I work p/t at an Abercrombie & Fitch. I'm hoping to get hired at a water place delivering water softeners and move up but if that doesn't happen I'll be kinda screwed and have to crash on my neighbors couch untill either I find another real job or get everything settled and can drive back to WV to live with my dad and get a job where he works or others I know can help me out.

I would be happy to stop by and visit any vxers along the way. If I do end up having to vacate Cali I will post up my drive. Anyone nearby my route should chime in and tell how to get to their residence or a local hang.

And thanx for the input and advice guys. Anybody think of anything I should do to the VX besides what I mentioned?

Why dont you just get a sales position somewhere like a car salesman or something real quick. Those types of jobs are everywhere. Get on career bulider.com or monster.com.
