I dont know. It was going to be Ohio, but I keep getting spectacularly bad results on job searches over there for my field in particular. Owing to that state having piles and piles of fully-accredited arch schools less than 200 miles from eachother.
I get results like:
"Applicant must have an award... No.. TWO awards, yes... And a doctorate... No, TWO doctorates and a Nobel Prize... And no less than a 4.3 GPA, no wait... TWO 4.3 GPAs, counting everything since preschool. Also we require a $30,000 deposit and btw this is for an unpaid, full-time internship."
Im only exaggerating slightly, but its still a case of nobody in their right mind would ever give this serious thought.
Why Ohio? Because it is 1/3rd the cost of basically anywhere in Colorado and /surprisingly/ less run-down. The problem with CO is all the places that dont look like ex-meth labs are $1800+ for 400 square feet, and they are on-par with average or even entry level housing. The places less than that are either overt scams ( where I am no), or literal crack-shacks or single rooms in a house full of hydroponic weed growing apparatusses and 8 or 10 other roommates in a 3 bedroom house.
It blows. It's far away from everything interesting, uneconomical and home to the proportionally largest, straightest, most milquetoast population of unmarried people in the country. It is a "dating state" for "beautiful people" and the few times Ive tried to participate in the furry scene, it's been cliquish and weird. Nothing like what Ive seen at every other out-of-state gathering or con.
So moving yay...
