You have never been east and west across Washington state? Delaware is still in the neighborhood.
I am actually looking for a reputable shop I can apply to work at, actually.. I already do my own body work.
The move is because of school for my other half. She is looking into schools in that area, specifically those states due to cost and her program. I may have enough start up capital to start my own shop after I sell the house here, but not before then. I just was thinking may be easier to start in someone else's shop and perhaps later start my own or stay on if the shop is good. The shops in my area specifically are not restoration .. but more hide and patch for quick flip or insurance fast pace collision. Not what I am looking for.
Have either of you been to the east coast?
I have, she has not. I have lived all over that area before when I was younger.
Looks like either the Orono, ME, or Bangor, ME areas and Burlington, VT areas. She will know more after today which one when she has a follow up call with the counselors and program directors there. I am not sure which area in Delaware, but looks like it could be ruled out here soon as well.
Delaware was the first state. It is a small state. Uhhh... that's about it.
Delaware is not in or near New England, you've got a lot of driving from Delaware to reach New England. My thoughts are to see what school she goes to first. What exactly is your trade? If your a top body/paint person you should be able to find work. Restoration work may be challenge though and opening your own place, to do it the right way and legally would take a really big investment. Best of luck to you!
Actually I have. I am an owner/operator. I drive an 18 wheeler over-the-road for a living. Delaware is roughly 400 miles from Vermont. It's 360 miles across Washington State east to west. Delaware is considered the start of the Mid-Atlantic states. New England consists of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Should have led with VT.....lol.
