99% percent of jobs in Tennessee pay more than Minimum wage . I’m cna but for a retail example wallgreens starts out at 13-14 hr for cashiers Amazon 17 hr list goes on so if you don’t have experience or a lot of education , that’s not a problem here !! Also if you won’t to work there are jobs everywhere even during the pandemic. I got laid off due to that and instead of hopping on the Unemployment bandwagon I had a new job in just a few days right down the st from my house and had several interviews in between .

If anyone moves from a big city or big state with cities like NYC, LA, San Fransisco, Chicago, etc and want to move somewhere more rural....just don't change the politics of the state. It's rather annoying for people that have lived in some rural states for very long time or for people that moved there for that reason only to have people from the cities come and ruin it. They come for low prices, low taxes, low regulations, etc etc etc...and then vote for the opposite. Just plz don't do that lmao. If you do the opposite, rural state to big city state, good luck.

There are a lot of good things about living in Tennessee. The great thing that makes this State great is the fact that many Tennesseans are members of a Church because they believe in God and choose to worship Him and follow Jesus. This makes Tennessee voters conservative. They mostly vote Republican except in the large city counties like Shelby, Davidson, Knox, and Hamilton which vote for Democrats. If you plan to move to Tennessee, please leave your liberalism and atheism in the crap-hole State you are leaving! Don't turn Tennessee into a mini-California.

@@nadiia8x that’s not a bad thing. Tennessee is just fed up with democrats moving here, and voting for officials who implement similar policies that made them want to leave their previous state. It’s counterintuitive. On top of that, many democrats dislike TN because how conservative the state is (outside of nashville and memphis), as if they didn’t know where the hell they were moving to. As long as you can get along with the people here, which isn’t hard, and know that it’s pretty conservative state then you’ll be fine.

If you’re a Californian moving to TN here are some simple cons I have collected over the last 2 years: 1. Kinda depressing weather half of the year. 2. VERY hard to find good food. 3. Prepare to be tailgated every day. 4. Fast food workers being sassy/rude is very common around here. 5. The TN natives are more closed off than Californians and tend to not ask you many questions at all, but will talk about themselves for hours. Trust me. These are my only cons! If you can look past these things then it’s a great state to move to!

California, a democrat state, Tennessee, a REPUBLICAN STATE. If you like less crime and a state that allows guns, Tennessee is the better place. Traffic is a lot better and safer in Tennessee. People are MORE FRIENDLY in Tennessee. I lived in both, and a lot longer than Hannah and if you asked people in Tennessee if they want to move to California, no one would say yes. If you asked people in California if they want to move to Tennessee, they would say that if they could, they would in a heartbeat. Let's not get into politics nor about politicians..we ALL know where that discussion would lead to.

I saw that you lived in the Sacramento area, I’m thinking of transferring either to csu sacramento or to a town around Nashville. I’m currently in SoCal so I’m used to always being able to go to the beach, are there any good lakes or swimming holes you have been to in Tennessee?

[@hannahreneebanana]

I don’t know the Nashville area well enough to know if there is lots of lakes, but where I’m at, we have tons. Sacramento only has one big river, but I’ve honestly only been to it once.

[@kimberlywilliams9462]

No

Nope

Some towns spray for skeeters. But the bugs aren't THAT bad. You get used to it. I hate ticks but don't have much of a problem with them because I'm not real fair skinned. And everything depends on how far into the sticks you want to live.

Hi Hannah. My husband and I and I are thinking of moving there really. I watched this video earlier last month and commented and you were so sweet to comment back. I am disabled with MS and technology challenged. I do better actually doing things old school. Is there anyway I could get a hold of you just to ask some questions.
