eeeeee...I did not realize the pay in NC was lower than it was here. I thought it would almost certainly be higher. Really though, all that matters for that is the comparison of standard of living too.

One thing I had thought about (I hope I didn't already mention this in this thread, but I'm lazy and not checking), is the idea of--if possible--getting hired in the burbs area somewhere and working for a few years there and make a ton of money and save save save. Then move back to local area when the time is right (read: job openings), and have some nice cash to sit on here for a bit and live a little easier.

I am disappointed to find that out about NC and SC. I really didn't think they'd pay less than the ol' midwest (non-chicago) areas. The weather woudl still be an improvement though. Maybe I will have to make an excuse to roadtrip to NC next summer [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
