Okay folks, what next?

Okay, so, my job here sucks, although I may be able to start parlaying some work stories into a rather nice humor novel at some point.

I'm financially solvent enough that I can actually pick up and move and probably live for a good six months just about anywhere. Recession or not, I was able to find work pretty steadily in rust-belt hell Cleveland, so I'm not overly worried about finding work. Still, I guess I wouldn't mind some input on where to go. You'll notice(or not) that Ohio is not an option. This state hasn't been horrible to me, but to be honest, it hasn't been that great either.

Texas is great, but the heat is getting even me down at the moment.

So, since I'm moving there in a year, whole new category: OREGON! :D

The only reason I didn't say Chicago is because the cost of living is so high. WI is a great place (from all accounts), and not too much downside from what I know. Weather is about my idea of perfect (I don't mind winters, though).

Although, Detroit is still where my heart is, too. =)

I said Chicago because I think it is one of my favorite "big" cities that is still relatively manageable. (I myself might be focusing my job search there soon enough).

Detroit wouldn't be all that bad, I don't think, but it might be hard to find something these days. I dunno. (I grew up in MI, so I'd take almost any chance to live in MI.)

My best friend moved to Austin, TX a few years ago, and I know a few people in the Houston area. But, it is pretty damn hot. Hmmm.

I'm really seeing no downside to Wisconsin. I love beer and cheese. And I know people there, too. I've been to a couple of great weddings there, one of which had awesome weather in November. Seriously, how did that happen?

I have almost no basis for one additional suggestion... Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul?). I've heard (like some of WI) that weather isn't permacloud like MTU. And South Bend.

*Ahem*

Minnesota. We're going to try to gather brothers there. :P Now if only I could find work in that damn state...

I voted for Texas. I know, I know. It's hot and humid and it's Texas. BUT... If you are a chemist in Texas, there is always the oil field. We are always looking for people at Baker Hughes, Baker Petrolite division. I am a walking Baker recruiter, I know. But they are a great company and the oil field is always a conterversy, but there is so much $$$$ there.
