It is doing what I used to do a couple years ago so it would be right up my alley. The only thing tho' is.

allen405 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 what's the weather like in the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Warmer, of course, it's more southern. You have to be willing to take risks for something like this. Why don't you ask if they will provide a stipend for moving down there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen405 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yeah that is a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 You might have to go alone for the first couple weeks and find a place before moving everyone down there. And even though it's a risk, make sure it's a calculated risk. I have a friend who went to another state for work once and came back after a couple weeks because it wasn't worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 winters won't be as bad, but summer is hot in a way you aren't used to. I had an uncle that took an out of state job. He went ahead of the his family and stayed in a hotel for a couple of months to make sure it was going to work out before moving the family.

MikeMeyerhoff Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 One other thing about KC is that Its very spread out. Downtown isn't the only "center" of KC, meaning there is a lot of driving (and still farmland for that matter) between the various areas. So its seems more like living in a smaller town than a city at times. Urban sprawl is in full effect and any "older" areas seem to collapse when all the money moves out. So there are good areas to raise a family, but those areas are "new" and housing prices reflect that. No more dragstrip in town either. Liberals forced it closed quite literally. SCCA is strong and active though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen405 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Right now its just talk, if I did take the job they would have to put me up somewhere cuz I have no family down there. Also they would have to give me some money to bring down my tools and my quest. Is there snow there right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I live a bit away from KC and there is just a little snow remaining and it'll probably be gone tomorrow if it gets to 60 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen405 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 This is the place that is looking at me for a pump technician position http://www.pathfindersystems.net/. If anyone around there specializes in this stuff then have at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 LOL you guys have no idea what heat is. I'll second that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conq2230 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Kansas City can get the worst of both the summers and winters -- although lately winters have been mild (except for last month). The Humidity is probably a lot higher during the summer heat than you're used to experiencing -- warm, moist air from the Gulf gets here. Probably windier and more severe weather than in MN. The suburbs are probably similar to Minneapolis. Spread out and generally traffic isn't too bad even during rush hour compared to bigger cities. Looks like you'd be working right down near the river on the east side near 435. You could live north or South. My wife used to drive from Lee's Summit (southeast) to that area - about 20 miles and took her about 25-30 minutes. Living up north would be closer.

allen405 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Well I never got a call from the people , but I did find out that the guy that left came back and worked stuff out. So no state moves for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
