Is it worth it to move?

For context I’m 22. I don’t go to college and don’t intend to. I just work in the service industry to pay my bills, but my real passion is music and art. I currently live in a small Michigan town, and it’s just rough. No jobs, NO music scene, no creatives at all. (I’m not moving to a city to make it big, just to have that outlet in my daily life) I used to live in Hamtramck (a 2 square mile city within Detroit) and that was so much better bc there were thrift stores and open mic nights, venues with cool bands you wouldn’t find otherwise, and unique people all around. but the lack of nature failed me. So I moved back to my hometown so I could at least walk in the woods on my days off, but I can’t stay here for much longer. Ithaca seems so pretty, and it’s a college town so I’m assuming I should be able to make a living while serving? What should I know? Be brutally honest but don’t try to scare me away 🤣
