Another place in CA is not so good. With my line of work, nothing beats silicon valley and i will have to change careers to be able to move someplace else in CA. I don't like LA so it's has to be norcal. I almost got an offer in Boston, around kneeland street, but never been there and i dont know what i am expecting. The medical IT industry and the ones you mentioned are the exact stuffs that i am doing, we are 100% HIPA compliant..hehehe. But thanks for the input, i appreciate it.

Good thing about IT and the medical industry is IT is where everything is going. Tracking results, patient demographics, interfaces, reporting, HIPA security you name it there is an IT solution. Soon everyone will be going this route.

Being in Laboratory I'm knee deep in requests for interfaces and IT solutions.

When i said Specify "high cost of living" i meant taking everything into account. Real estate in California these days depending on where you decide to invest can be a bargain.

But if your considering the move based solely on the high cost of living; in my mind you may be ignoring a long list of other very important factors.

Lower Real estate prices in and of themselves don't provide the basis for a happy family life.

So it may be better if you and your family sit down and decide where you want to put down roots. Figure out what it is you expect in a living environment. (Example) Will you be happy living next door to Ma and Pa kettle?

Consider the cost is the appropriate measure to take and that in my mind means much more than the economic picture.

A guy who bought a 700K house few years ago has realized that it is now valued at $500K and he owes more than the value is just an example of how bad it has become. When i look at other houses in other states that looks identical and sometimes even better than CA houses, and yet they pay a lot less on their mortgage and property taxes, it makes me envy them.

I heard monkey junction (?) in SC or NC is a pretty good area. I wonder about the employment section....

About the Northwest and my impressions. Oregon is nice if you want a peaceful, quiet place to settle down and love the environment. Or if you want to work for Nike. The drivers there go about 10 below the speed limit at all times, the property taxes aren't cheap (based on what my relatives in Portland say), and you can't pump your own gas. That place is just too full of eco-hippies for me.

Washington isn't bad, although I don't know if I could deal with the absurd traffic in Seattle. But the weather is too dreary for me.
