Why do people constantly want to move to colorado. ...the boom is pretty much dead imo....
Following the news, yep CO is in the midst of a housing boom and is experiencing lots of growth from the vacationers right now. I would say that the boom is not dead, more so the MJ space is crowded. Still watching to see what happens to prices after the fall harvest. Also, there are lots of other areas where industry is growing.
@Kind Sir If you are looking to become a college student then you know you will have to do a lot of research to pass your classes. If you are seriously looking to move to CO I would suggest you delve into some news articles both new and recent to see what kind of employment is in demand. As others have said, there are plenty of people moving into CO to join the MJ sector. It does sound kind of bloated. I would suggest you also look on Craigslist and other sources to see what kind of jobs are available in the area you plan to move to. Obviously, since there is a housing boom, perhaps jobs in construction or construction materials delivery or whatever is available. Unfortunately, booms usually on last short term.
But def start reading up on the area. And plan on not being able to get a job that will support you in the MJ industry. Like another poster stated, if you only want to get into MJ also keep an eye on areas where MJ may soon be legalized. Get in at the start, not after it has grown to the point of perhaps borderline oversupply. I think at some point the MJ boom in CO will consolidate. And the weaker players may not make it. Just the laws of supply and demand. Good luck.
