re: Louisiana peeps - if you could transplant your life elsewhere, would you (and where)?

Well, that begs the question: What keeps you in Louisiana?

Friends, family, culture, LSU sports, etc. After four years of school in NY, I chose Ft Polk as my first assignment in order to get back home. After my five years of service was up, I found my house in BR before finding a job.

A couple of years ago I was at a conference where a recruiter contacted me about an opportunity that would have significantly increased my pay/bonus but I would have to move to Dallas. When I returned home I mentioned it to my wife where she quickly responded I hope you told him no thanks.

To me raising my kids around family and friends is worth more than money and career opportunities elsewhere. To each their own!
