A fellow Midwesterner who also moved to Denver? I grew up in Illinois and heartily agree.
Ah, no sorry. I didn't mean to mislead you. I'm originally from New York, in the Buffalo south towns. I originally moved to Denver in 1994 but left for Australia in 2001 to get married and find work. Failing to find work I came back to the States by way of Iowa and spent eighteen months finding a way to get the hell out.
You know what? I'm tired of that mentality. I've been feeling so frustrated with work lately.
Unfortunately what I'm finding is that most jobs are only offering the same horizontal career options. There's no interest in retaining employees, only demands of loyalty from us with none offered in return. Honestly, if I could quit to focus on more creative pursuits without worrying about starving or finding myself homeless I'd do it in a heartbeat. But our hypercapitalistic society not only doesn't allow for it but it actively frowns on it.
Sorry, I had to vent there myself. It's a touchy subject with me. ;)
