Good for you. I sincerely offer my thanks for your presumed contributions to this state. We desperately need more young, educated, and successful people to help alleviate the massive brain drain witnessed in past decades.

Still, you're an exception to the norm.

Just a FYI. "Brain drain" occurs in nearly 40 states. There's about 10 states that just by sheer size can't produce enough graduates from univiersities to meet job demand.

Basically the 10 most populous states are the only ones exempt from the brain drain.

I got a full ride to LSU. I've been living back in my home state of Illinois the past few years. I was really interested in moving back to Baton Rouge and applied to a job I was fully qualified for at LSU. I was rejected. Should I feel guilty that I took that scholarship money from a hard working Louisiana student?
