originally i was going to move because of better weather and a boyfriend. the boyfriend no longer is in the picture and i'm wondering if trading my job, friends and family are worth it. i've been having a helluva time getting a job there too (been interviewing since may). it's 9 hours south so i can't really even go there to interview. but, I have a friend and aunt and uncle that live there. My job is alright - pays ok and i like it but it definitely has it's bad days but it seems that there are more opps opening up for advancement. i have lots of friends here and i am afraid that i'll have a hard time making new ones once i get in a new city. politics and culture may be a problem as i'm pretty liberal, catholic and somewhat of an activist! so southern mentality and religion may clash-maybe not in a big city. i really don't like cold winters we have but i'm not sure if its worth relocating. now i'm 2 mos away from when I decided to go-job or no. what do you think?

Don't let fear stop you from making a move if that is what you truly want to do. But if you really don't think it's going to benefit you too well to move, then you should stay and look for other opportunities around where you are now. Maybe at another time you might want to revisit the decision to move.

I'd go in a heartbeat. ......It doesn't seem you have children yet but are at an age where it could happen in the next few years. WHERE would you want to see them raised?
You'll make friends. Go make them while you don't have children. Or if you do have children go while they are still young because of school.
You think we don't have liberal catholics activists down here? (BAMA) There are the same types of people everywhere you go. Our accents are just different. Why do you think so many people move south when they retire? The winters. Get a head start on that one and don't get stuck in a job there and spend the next 30 or so years waiting to retire to be able to go.

It sounds like you have a lot of important options to consider and that can make it even harder to decide. When I need to make a really big decision like where to live I pray about it and wait. The worst thing to do is make a quick decision. I'll pray that the Lord will show you exactly what to do where you be the happiest.
Hope this helps! :-)

It sounds as if you have a pretty good thing going in OH, And would bet if you moved to NC and work at same job you are now working, would make at least 20% per year less.

If you are a Democrat, please stay in Ohio - we need you!
