[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid graduated last year as chemical engineer from high ranked OOS public and after many interviews (which lead nowhere) they got a job in a state far from home where none of us had ever been to.

I think in this job market you have to be willing to move far away.  That's my advice.[/quote]

I could not agree with this more.  The increasing unwillingness of people to move from declining or expensive places or move to where better jobs over are is one of the greatest economic problems in our country, and has been for 30-40 years.  We can only blame the people making these decisions every day, not the government, companies or wealthy people.  So in this political and cultural environment, nobody talks about it, because, God forbid, we actually hold individuals accountable for their own decision about how much and where to work.  If the jobs are not abundant or sufficiently remunerative in NY, SF or Miami, go elsewhere.  It's not difficult if people are flexible, motivated and have realistic ambitions.  And by the way, a good degree, skills and actual working experience beyond fake internships are all essential.[/quote]
