Answer 2

As you must realize, the answer depends entirely on your skills and interests, on what you can bring that would trump another candidate's knowledge of the area.

I ran into real trouble with that myself back in the 1990s. I went to Flagstaff, Arizona, with the idea that since the cost of living was so much lower there, and since I had a lot of work experience in the relatively well-paying job of legal secretary, I would have no trouble getting a job. Didn't turn out to be the case. First, they just plain hate Californians. They don't like the idea of Californians coming there and "acting superior" and etc. Also, a well-respected specialty of legal secretary in California is highly dependent on the nature of state law and procedure. I knew California law, but did not know how different Arizona law was. There, they don't hire specialist secretaries and pay them extra. They just hire regular secretaries (at very low wages) and train them to the specifics of the legal field. So while the cost of living was low, the salaries for my field were low even in comparison. I went back to California.

Moral to the story: do a LOT of research before you make your move.
