HeroJr Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I've changed jobs a few times and have worked in Central Kentucky, Detroit, overseas, Eastern Kentucky and now Charlotte. I went back to school in there, too, so that I could change from doing full-time graphic design to teaching graphic design while still doing design part-time. I make a little less money now than if I had stayed on the other track, but I really enjoy teaching college students and have been happy to make the trade. As far as places to live - I really like Charlotte. I live closest into the city of all the SQClub members here, and I like that. Charlotte is big enough that there are lots and lots of things to do and people to meet, but small enough that I never feel overwhelmed here like I might in a Chicago or New York City. There are lots of tuner and speed shops around, including some real heavyweights like Underground Racing and all the different outfits that support Nascar teams. The weather here is pretty great, too. Yes, it does get pretty hot for a month or more in the summer, but the rest of the year the weather can be pretty mild. It snowed one day this Spring and one day two years ago, but that's it for snow in the three years I have been here. Cost of living seems reasonable. The city is a bit expensive, but again, not near as bad as a Chicago or New York. Really, the only drawback I've experienced is that few houses in the neighborhoods and price ranges we were looking at had garages. If we had wanted new construction further outside of the city, we could have had a garage, though. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taeisallin Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I think all that depend on what you specialize in. Can't look to go farming in the city you know....Although there are exceptions. If you are in manufacturing, then you'd probably not go to a deserted island or a 100 acre farm with nothing in sight. You'd want to go somewhere where your expertise is needed and welcomed. So what do you do?NYC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
