San Antonio, TX vs. Columbia, MO

[michigancat]

taking the columbia job was stupid. "oh, hey, I really want to get out of this town and move to the big city and meet single professionals so I'm moving to columbia, MO: population less than Topeka"

taking the columbia job was stupid.

I think we've hit the root of the problem.

I merely accepted their employment proposal... I haven't "taken" or started the job yet.

And while I can't believe I am going to defend Columbia, it definitely has more resources than Manhattan or Topeka.

But definitely not enough to justify "accepting an employment proposal" there when you want to live an city with decent transit and young professionals.

BTW - You all may or may not know the current climate for architecture but the fact that I have three jobs to choose from is kind of in and of itself a miracle...

Of all college graduates, architecture majors have the highest unemployment by far and the rest of the profession is no better. So the fact that they offered to split expenses, while bush league, is astounding.

I appreciate the bluntness and honesty, not that i didn't expect that from you hooligans

Being from Missouri I know what to expect... alot of methed-out GED low lifes that root for mizzou because it is the only d-1 school in the state - but as far as college towns go at least Columbia tries to be a little progressive and take of the students.

San Antonio has it all - bars, population, riverwalk, austin, hot latinos, etc... It is in Texas though so everyone will have that texas-ego

You still have the MHK job to choose from?

Yeah, I am selling my home and have been looking at the market locally here.  It is insane the diff in what you get in KS and TX for the same money.  Insane. 
Make up your mind before you check this out, otherwise it will make up your mind for you.

No kidding. Leaving MHK was a big mistake, but don't compound that by moving to San Antonio. Short commutes, friendly faces, and job security ftw.

For property you gotta slap the other guy on the shoulder twice also.

No state income taxes in TX.

[ew2x4]

What offices are you looking at/resigning from? The stability of those should give you the answer. I really wouldn't trust Columbia or San Antonio for lots of stability right now. I've survived several rounds of layoffs at my firm. It's rough out there.

I know, right!

I've heard that as well. I've also heard that other things are a little bit more expensive to compensate for it, like car registration, insurance, etc. Obviously if you make a crap ton of money it is cheaper for you but if you make an average salary it turns out to be close to the same.

Just what I've heard, I'm no BigDCat...
