graduating students, would you move out of your homestate for work?

I talked to a recruiter today from lockheed martin and he suggested that i had the right credentials to work at their facilities in Texas.

I live in CA tho and I grew up here. All my family, friends, even the girls I like are here. 😀

Also, I'm asian and I'm not sure the rest of country is as asian friendly as CA. That is after watching this whole 9/11 situation and how much of a public backlash there has been against arab americans, I wonder what's in store for asians. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say the next time a spy plane incident times ten happens, there might be widespread harrassment of asians in certain parts of the country.

The economy sucks so I would do it in a heartbeat. I am from South Carolina and asians were treated just like everyone else in my high school.

Depends on the job security with them, and maybe get a job with their skunk works division 🙂

i don't understand people that won't move for a good job

i was born in oregon
i grew up in washington
i went to college in florida, idaho and washington
i joined the navy and was stationed in florida, idaho, washington and new york

after i got out of the navy , i have worked/lived in new york, georgia and missouri

go for the texas job, it isn't like you have to stay there for the rest of your life, if you don't like it/want to
