Question: Would you move in order to find employment if you were unemployed and your savings were going to be depleted within 3 months?

I hear that all the time on here. You say you are lucky to have a job that makes $10 an hour and you can't even find one of them. MOVE!

When I graduated college the jobs in my field were not very plentiful. My family had lived in the same state for 359 years, but I chose to move 400 miles away so I would have more opportunities for myself and my children.

Why do people stay in a depressed area? The mid-atlantic states have so many jobs going unfilled because Americans are sitting in the south and midwest crying about unemployment rates.

Why do people go to school for 4 or more years for something useless? That is the better question.

I've often wondered that myself.

We moved thousands of miles for my husbands job.

We've moved to 3 different states in the last 2 years for this reason...its not exactly easy to do or enjoyable.

Makes no damn sense! Yeah, I love art, let's get an art degree! Then wonder why the hell I can't find work when I'm done. Stupid!

I wanted to go for psychology, but I know a 4 year degree in that isn't needed. I don't know if I'm going on for masters or farther, so I made a logical, smart decision to change majors.

I'm not the cat lady type. I'm more like an actual cat. I want affection when I want it and on my own terms. The rest of the time I want to claw out your eyes and piss in your shoes.

It's wrong to be a bully with one exception. It's ok to bully those you THINK are a bully.

I moved across state for a job for my ex husband. I went to college have my nursing license and I have always been able to maintain employment. He has switched jobs numerous amount of times since we have been divorced, but always finds a job. Some people would rather stay broke then take a less paying job until the find another. That's what I don't understand. I hear plenty of people saying this, yet want to complain they have nothing.

We will not move the housing market has effected everyone. We have been lucky though, we are not blooming but we do have developments moving...

I am going to school for computers. I wont get paid the rate I would like or feel I deserve staying in my state. Perhaps some of us are not nit picky whiners and take what we can.
