I’m too late and I live in North Dakota. But it’s not wildly different reasons. First off you don’t know how easily you can get a job here now. I work at the Community College and they can’t keep carpentry students til graduation. They. All. get. Jobs.

Cost of living. You could get a roommate work at McDonald’s (they can’t find workers though they don’t pay enough) and build a nest egg. If you like ramen and beans and rice you can actually save up cash.

You know you don’t want to leave your depressed economy, because all your support structure is where you are, I get that, but you should come here.

I knew a nurse that switched to being a stay at home mom. She told me she could pick up the phone at 3pm and have a shift at 10 the next morning.

Cons: the cold. Really that’s about it.
