Re:"I want to move midwest" (Score 1)

Ok im a geology major and frankly you are correct. You will die soon simply by virtue of the fact you live in the most tectonically active region in the entire continental United States. However, you could move to the midwest, or north west (ie, Montana or Idaho) where the cost of living is cheap and very good. If you are that good at what you do, which is working with computers, you can always take a pay cut in exchange for the freedom to work where you want. You may even be able to retain your exact job. If you still do the work, then they will be happy to give you less money and let you live elsewhere. A happy worker is a good worker, wait we are not in Japan are we, we don't sing the corporate anthem since the zygote stage, but you can sing hyms of wide open spaces and purple mountain majesties in Montana. Even 50 or 60 g's goes a long way in the 'Last Best Place.' meanderings ElM
