Smart move, AZWildcat96.

I would LOVE to move OUT of California. I have lived here (SoCal and NorCal, various cities) all of my life. I hate California, personally.the people are rude, the government is screwed up beyond repair, the police are corrupt, the taxes are among the highest in the US, and the economy is the hardest hit. Slow job growth, high gas prices, high cost of living, poor infrastructure...but great weather.

I apologise if my post is harsh but I think you made a smart decision, AZWildcat96.
Best, best, best of luck to you and best wishes at your new job!
