[quote=spdrun]What’s wrong with just living in an enjoyable environment instead of sacrificing for a “career” that mostly benefits those far above you in the corporate chain? Maybe they get it better than people who are willing to slave and live in forsaken pestholes in order to fluff their resume. Only to be let go with a week’s notice when the corporation restructures.

Another ray of sunshine from spdrun.

You realize that was a “for instance”, right? My point is that there is a lot to be learned at such places. You and or your future progeny can do what they like – but those with the most valuable experience will be the most employable. It was such a situation that led us to NJ for 4 years. The New Jerseyans werent a lot of fun – but the job was good. We didnt die (although the kids would claim we came close) and now we’re back here.

I have to say your negative attitude is a bit of a downer.
