My wife and I grew up in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA. It was easy to stick around because we had a child and I found a decent job out of school. I felt lucky with my employment situation at the time because the area has virtually nothing going for it and is getting worse year after year. The people who can leave, move away - and everyone else sticks around.
Fast forward a few years and I was doing contract work for a customer in Denver, CO and they offered to relocate us to Denver and brought me on full time. Ended up hating that place as a FTE but LOVE Colorado so here we still are.
- theandrewbailey 8y agoI grew up in a small town in Ohio[0], and my first job out of school was in Pittsburgh, late 2009. After slowly going through 2 other jobs, I found a place with a team that feels like family (and pays well). I've been living in the South Hills area for 3 years, and I wouldn't dare live anywhere else. The T is awesome. I love days when I don't use my car to go to work, and they allow bikes on the T, so I hit the trails downtown during spring/summer/fall weekends. [0] Not near Cleveland, much closer to Columbus. I learned pretty quickly that Ohio equals Cleveland to people from Pittsburgh.
