Single person: is it better to live in a loud happening area (but quiet after 10pm)? Or a quiet area? Will I get bored living in a quiet area?

If it’s quiet after 10pm it’s not a loud, happening area

Pick a quiet street (not a major through street or Ave) in a happening area.

Clarification question: are you directly above/adjacent to a bar/in an area most notable for young/party crowds? Friend of mine lived above a bar once, and only when the bar would close did he get his peace and quiet (3am). Then you’d have to deal with the sfx from leftover degens (loud/drunk) that left said bar. See if you can rent an Airbnb in the area you want for a better understanding of what to expect.

I’d pick the happening area because of my personality, but people are different.

From personal experience I've done both, I lived across the street from a gastropub (a but quieter than a bar) in a really fun area as well as living in a completely residential area. I hated the residential area because I felt isolated from people my age and it definitely wasn't as convenient to meet people outside of work. I will say the downsides of the more happening area is that it likely won't always be quiet after 10 and it could happen at the worst or weirdest times and I once had my car side swiped by a drunk driver. I now live in more of a mix and it's been a better balance

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health. I chose this position because My husband & I recently moved to PA with our 2 kids (1&3), with no family available for his residency program with a hospital. If you know that life, I’m pretty much the main parent for our kids. I don’t want to work in the hospital/floor work anymore; nor do I believe the hrs are flexible enough. I need a job that’s flexible for the kids but pays >$44/hr. Maybe remote or hybrid? Please help w/ suggestions.
