This is the kinda thing you double-check o_____o But... like after a dramatic pause? Oh, you poor bastard.

I know that in your line of work talent is always sought after, no matter where they come from.

I personally find myself experiencing what you have just described. Maybe there is a genetic imperative whereby I cannot be content unless I am moving around, much like a nomad.

That is absolutely true, though here's the thing - wherever the high salaries are, high cost of living follows.

It depends upon the area. In fact, those who live up north are paid more to compensate for being able to afford to live there. The south, especially here in Florida, it is quite the opposite. No one wants to pay anything for anyone to live properly.
