    So, here's Arizona in a nutshell...I've been here since early 2000...before covid there actually were plenty of jobs, they're all low paying though...BUT, if you're used to making minimum wage then $10-15 an hour probably does sound good to you...but realistically that's extremely low pay compared to other states, my ex works as a mechanical engineer and pretty much travels to other states to work because Arizona is not meant to cater to the income of people with careers...unless you're an entrepreneur....and another reality is unless you come here with a mate, ladies don't expect too many Black men to be checking for you...unless, you're actually doing something with your life...I'm so sick of sistas moving here then complaining how Black men don't want them...be about your business if you move here to Arizona bottom line..this is a dog eat dog state and you better know how to swim...the mexicans don't like blacks, the whites don't like blacks, hell...many of the blacks don't like other blacks...there's a ton of things to do here, it just depends on what you're in to...I'm a freelance photographer and filmmaker so I'm constantly out at venues marketing and meeting people...I'm from Kansas City and my mate is from Flint...this is a state where you better know how to do for self...period

    Congratulations 🍾 you’ve been here for 6 years now. My lady and I, moved from Chicago to Arizona back in January 2021. We had only $3,500.00, no crib to go to, no job, nothing but each other and a plan to start at a temp while we’re in the hotel. We looked at a map of the United States and said where we driving to 😂 but frfr we did. Arizona is so mf beautiful 🤩. We were feeling so stuck and trapped in Chicago that depression was normal. Now we’re doing our thang and I’ve bought a motorcycle as my everyday and my lady whipping our truck.
    Side note 📝. These mfs real live can’t fuckin drive out here 😠😡🤬. I definitely would recommend moving here, just leave that lame ass bullshit back in your state and come here and be yourself with good vibrations only.

    The fact that I came across this video is God. I moved to Detroit from Illinois BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER... And I’ve always wanted to move to AZ. I just feel like it’s going to be hard to find a starting pay job at $30 a hour with no degree 😭 but I’m relying on Gods word and my faith. God put me in Michigan for now. But I hope he puts me in AZ in the near future cause this plant life got my back and knees feeling like I’m 85 🥴🤣

    • @DejaUnique
      @DejaUnique  3 роки тому +9

      The knees feeling like you’re 85 had me dying laughing 😂😂 but, Heyy thank you for watching my video I appreciate it. I agree 💯 because it definitely will be hard to find a job paying $30 a hour without an degree . & honestly that’s my struggle right now sometimes I wish I had went to school but other times I’m like nah, I’m chasing my dream I’m going to get where I want to be it just takes hardwork and patience. I’m actually now wanting to relocate to Texas or Atlanta I need more culture and AZ lacks that! I’m going to upload another video giving an update on how I feel about Arizona.
      But I hope AZ is in your plans and good luck with everything 💜

      🤭🤭🤭@your back and knees. I'm from Michigan and recently relocated to AZ, I worked for Chrysler for 2½ years and finally left because I realized that's how they trap us. They entice us with great pay and bonuses and decent benefits then you feel like you can't leave because you won't make the same kind of money elsewhere. For me, there were other things that were more important, for instance my back and knees staying strong and healthy lol. That plant life was not worth it for me. I don't regret my decision to leave one bit. Good luck with your next move and remember you only get one body, TAKE CARE OF IT! 😉✌🏾💚

    I'm an introvert anyway so I'm not concerned with making instant friends cause I'm all about quality over quantity anyway. And I don't let people in easy myself so I'm convinced whoever I encounter I won't have a problem with cause I'm coming optimistic with good vibes. I feel like God is directing me here for a reason. I love the vibe from just looking at the atmosphere and landscaping. I also feel a strong spiritual presence that's attracting me to AZ!

    Thank god for this video! I lived in Arizona in 2019-2021 I moved back to my home town in 2021 worst decision ever ! I can tell you one thing as a black person having that openness environment, space , nature and let’s not forget the sun man I truly think it’s a great place for black people . If you want to mind your business and just live a to yourself lifestyle then you can do that but if you’re a entrepreneur and go getter you have the options to go meet those high 5-7 figure income makers. Arizona changed my perspective on life and I think it’s my home. 2023 the goal is to move back and get back on finding my purpose

    Been in AZ since '73...this is educational. I have noticed over the years, folks are shocked that move from rust belt, how wages are lower here. And high demand is driving up prices like crazy too. If youre from CA and sell your house, you live like a king here for a period of time. Best of luck to the move ins. If you can stand the summers you'll be fine!

    I’m an introvert also, moving to Phoenix next month. Mostly concerned about the lack of diversity & racism than where I’m from but you gave me hope that I’ll be okay, thanks for sharing💕
    *Update: I’ve been here since last Sunday and so far so good! Most people have been cool others not so much. I had black, Hispanic and white Uber drivers and the black one was not friendly at all, didn’t even speak when I got in and did not say anything when I said to have a great day but it doesn’t bother me, the other two were very nice and welcomed me to AZ and even gave tips. As I stated I am an introvert so I haven’t had much public interaction other than Walmart/neighbors but like she stated if you’re an extrovert I can see how you would have a hard time.

    Yes, I moved to Phoenix from Florida in 2018 because I was tired of doing the same thing over and over. I need something new. I knew nothing about Phoenix. I had only passed through Phoenix on a vacation. One day I was like I am moving there. I packed everything and moved there with only $200 including gas. I honestly do not know how I have survived almost 3years here. I will say the job opportunities here are endless. My brother moved here and got a job offer the next day. It happens. Phoenix matured me. I got back into teaching and now I am working to build my credit up. The cons about Phoenix is the taxes and the non existent dating scene.

    • @johnhaughey8346

      @@strangefruit2438 It depends on what part of Arizona you want to move to. My wife and I lived in Phoenix, which is now the fifth largest metro area in the U.S. and still growing. I also grew up on the east coast, Philadelphia, so it was a little bit of a transition moving to a western city in the desert where summer temperatures average around 110 degrees, but like everyone used to say there, IT'S A DRY HEAT!! With that being said if you want to move to a big city and heat does not bother you that much you should be fine. Tucson is a couple of hours south and is home to the University Of Arizona, and has a college town vibe. North of Phoenix you have Prescott, Sedona, and Flagstaff which are much cooler in the summer, but more expensive than Phoenix, which is affordable to live in. Hope this helps a little to and kind of breaks things down a little, but there is much more to the state than I can list here.
