Can you move to Chicago with no money?

Well, not no money, per se, but very little. I have about $100 right now, and I make $200 every two weeks. (Next payday is this Friday.) I'd like to move to Chicago VERY soon, maybe early May. One way plane tickets are running $65, so I'd have a LITTLE money left for anything else. I might be able to find a couch to crash on for a week or two, and I'm hoping to land a temp job.

Why don't you learn a technical trade before you move so it won't be soo hard to find a job like learn how to cut hair, bartender, nail technician, massage therapist, You know something to kind of keep you a float wile you are in Chicago also try to do interviews over the Internet before you move good luck I wish I had your opportunity.

I would wait until your life is a little more solid. Wait till you got a couch to crash on for say a month or too, and save up atleast a thousand or two. Dont go broke, you could wind up on the street!
