the industry is maturing and there are almost 10k people w/ a badge to work with cannabis in colorado as of this year. to get in the door these days w/ no cannabis industry experience youre looking at an entry level job - harvest/trimming or budtending if you want to work w/ the public. and bottom line is that nobody is going to pre-hire you based on relocation for a $10-12/hour job because we've got inboxes full of local resumes already.
however, if you have a degree (seems like you prob do since you work in a similar field that my degree is in), have some long-term employment experience under your belt (2+ yrs at most recent employer), and come in and bust your ass and dont get blasted on every break you can advance just as quickly as your company expands. lots of people looking for a cool job but not focusing on having an awesome career so if youre one of those people who want to make big things happen there are opportunities.
my company will be hiring nearly 200 people in the coming months. 95% of them will start as trimmers and many will move from there to the entry level grow teams (mix nutes, feed plants, do transplants). there are also department managers, shift managers, and team leaders at every level - harvesting/trimming, growing, etc, etc.
