As someone who grew up in a small city, I can appreciate and understand its appeal. Still, I have always known that the small-town lifestyle is not for me. Living somewhere like New York City is my ultimate goal, just as it is for millions of other city lovers. Here are some signs that a big city lifestyle might be for you, too:
1. You appreciate diversity
From diversity of people to ideas, you value and embrace it all. You need to be surrounded by open-minded and accepting individuals like yourself.
2. You like public transportation
3. You easily get bored
In most small towns, there's not much to do. That is, at a certain point, it feels like you've done it all. It's safe to say that big cities alleviate boredom rather quickly.
4. You are not easily intimidated
Moving from a small town to a big city is a momentous change, and it takes courage to find your path in a place filled with so many other people trying do the same thing. It might be scary but if there is a will, there is a way.
5. You are ambitious and hardworking
Yes, it is true that you are competing for careers and internships with many more people than you would be if you wanted a job in the middle of nowhere. Small towns, though, simply don't always offer a wide range opportunities. It might be more competitive in a big city, but finding your perfect fit is surely worth the struggle.
