My fiance and I are considering relocating to Indianapolis to start out careers, he has just graduated college with a Bachelors Degree in Business/Econ and will be graduating with an Associates Degree in Business in May. Forbes has listed Indianapolis #6 for cities with good job markets.. I was looking to see if anyone would be willing to agree with them??

We currently live in NJ.. you would think it would have been easy finding a job being so close to NYC… there is absoultely nothing entry level, and we do come across something that sounds ok it is a scam. We are both living at home and strive to move into an apartment and begin our lives/careers together. It just doesn’t seem possible to do that in NJ when the starting salary is around 25 -30,000 and a studio apt is $1200 a month…….. I have also been researching the housing in Indianapolis and it is a thrid of that!
Please if someone could fill me in on the job market,nightlife,shopping,car insurance ETC.
Thankyou!!

Hello! I am from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area, and I am moving to Indianapolis this Friday to start a new job. I just finished my B.A in December, and was no longer appealed by the job market in my area.
I was shocked to find that the rent was cheaper for quality than even in Kentucky even though I am only 2 hours away. I am going to be working downtown and it is much more appealing than Cincinnati’s downtown that’s for sure.
As far as jobs, I think if you looked online you will have luck. I have minimal experience in the insurance industry and found a job in Indy after one interview starting out at a little more than the high end of the salary range you’ve given.
I have two cousins in Indy so I’ve spent a couple weekends up there and found it to be quite enjoyable…diverse, laid back, etc. Shopping prices are about the same from where I’m from, but probably cheaper than where you’re at. The nightlife is fun! I don’t know about car insurance yet…I still need to check into that one!
Good luck to you!
