Moving To Denver

I_Money · September 29th, 2007, 07:48

So after leaving Harvard in May, I spent the summer working with racehorses. I worked for Michael Matz (Barbaro's trainer) during the Saratoga meet, and I just moved to Maryland to continue working for him. However as much fun as racing is the pay and QOL sucks - work starts at 4:30am, 7 days a week, you get no health insurance, vacation, or 401K and the pay stinks (CFI's are rich compared to us).

So my girlfriend and I decided we wanted to move and settle down, get real jobs, etc. We were discussing locations, and we decided Denver. I have lived there before and really excited about going back, but it is quite a big move for her, a Boston native, who does not like long car trips!

A really exciting move for us!

Nice to have you moving out west. What kinda job you gonna get in DEN? Any idea? We'll have to have a DEN meet and greet.

jjm · September 29th, 2007, 13:56

a town I love near there is Boulder-- great college town, real affordable (still is, I think) and sits right up near Estes Park.

Good luck and have a safe trip!

Yeah! A denver meet 'n greet!

I've been here 2 years and I love it. Boulder's a nice town too, though certainly not cheap anymore!

Doug Taylor · September 29th, 2007, 15:06

Welcome back to the west!

Do you have any idea what you're interested in doing in DEN?

aloft · September 29th, 2007, 15:33

Boulder is affordable?

Milesar · September 29th, 2007, 15:33

Good deal, I've just made the move out to Denver this fall. I think a M&G is in order!

Awesome, glad you're back out west. My sister is an executive in sales for Qwest.

She lives in Ft. Collins, and get to Denver often and says it is a nice town.

Enjoy!

I have an uncle in Ft. Collins. He loves it out there.

Hope the move is everything you guys want it to be!

APAviator · September 30th, 2007, 21:30

I'm sure she'll enjoy Denver, it really is a pretty laid back place, and some nice things to do/see to boot(it sounds like you know that already.) Just tell her it's worth it to get away from the Boston drivers

I hear the M&G action, we were discussing it in a couple other threads, and with this much momentum... planning? I was thinking Wynkoop downtown for great food / pool / beverages?
