You know where most of them ended up? In Boston or California, the most expensive places to live in the country. These places are expensive because they are where the high paying tech jobs are in both good times and bad. Not having to move if you get laid off is huge. Most low cost of living locations are a 1 trick pony. Even if you do manage to have a job at the one high tech company in po-dink town, if you lose it, 99% of the time, you have to move.<br /><br /><br />Very Good analysisFirst Gen Americanhttp://firstgenamericna.comnoreply@blogger.com
