Just found out today that the place I'm interning at can only offer me 2 days a week of work after I graduate :(
I had hoped for more, now I'm thinking of moving eh...
So I guess my question is, what cities are decent for jobs, and living as I'm in the market for a new place. Was thinking maybe Seattle, San Fran, Boston and a variety of other places lower on the list.
Thanks all

suppose I should also mention I'm from Florida, and it's not my kind of place. Too many plastic people, and I'm not just talking about implants.

how about NYC? can't beat the culture and assortment of things to do.. I can't wait to get back to NJ/NYC.. I'm in Atlanta right now, and what you said about Florida seems to be true for a good chunk of the crowd here. I miss the sarcastic wit and competent driving of northerners.. ;) One of my buddies from school moved to Seattle and he loves it there so far. Couldn't tell you much myself.

I've been to seattle and I really liked it. It's moving up my list for sure. I'm actually from northern New York, and though I liked visiting I couldn't see myself living there.

yeah I went to school in Rochester.. definitely couldn't live there. Aside from NY, I could definitely see myself living in Chicago.. Great city. Plenty to do, and not as loud or polluted as NYC.. I've also heard very good things about Minneapolis/St. Paul.. They even have a decent market for designers.. And they're big on hockey if you're into that. heh

Hmm never thought about Minneapolis, where did you hear the job market was good?
I lived most of my life 5 mins from the Canadian border, so yeah hockey is good :)

a designer I know here in Atlanta used to live there.. apparently its one of those relatively small cities that's pretty big on design/new media comparatively.. As for hockey.. as long as I can catch the Devils play a couple times a year I'm happy.. Gettin to see the Cup Finals in June rocked.

America's most literate city according to this. That can't be bad.

nice.. Seattle up there too.. I'm surprised Atlanta is so high.. their schools test among the worst from what I've heard.

After a bit mor research I've found that overall the cost of living is cheaper and the employment rates, and rate of growth are higher than any other city I've looked at. Wow.... Minneapolis, maybe I'll be visiting soon hehe.
