"Which seems to me counter to our culture’s current sway: move where the career opportunities are, where you – the individual – can grow." --- I would say where you career can grow. I don't think people in general, are what the do for a living, and I would also say you will grow as a person no matter where you are. Experiences will keep layering on you and changing you. ------ My dad moved us at least every 3 years as a child following career opportunities, and I don't know that if it brought him happiness, because eventually he returned to Ohio. After a good decade and a half of living here, he had career wonderlust once more and moved to Milwaukee. He hasn't stopped regretting it and the closest he has been able to get back home since is Dayton. I could do a lot better if I moved to California, DC or NYC in terms of finances, but I like where I live and I make enough. - RAPatton
very good post, Ginger. I have to catch up with your last two. My family in North Carolina is similar in staying in one place--in their case, for hundreds of years. My father and mother are the only ones who have ventured out. - edythe
Salary not the only opportunity, moving costs not the only expense of moving? Hmm, looks logical to me. - 9000
