Which state would you move to if you had your dream job waiting there for you?

The only states I'd really consider are Hawaii (top choice - loved living there), Washington state (where I'm at now), or California. Why? Didja check how cold the rest of the nation was? Six inches of snow in Flagstaff predicted for today, snow in Tallahassee last week...no, I'm not a fan of cold weather, and the winters are often colder in much of the South than it is in Puget Sound.

Unless the dream job is POTUS, in which case I'd suck it up and move to DC for eight years....
 
My dream job pays $1K/day, starts at noon and ends at 1 pm with an hour off for lunch. I choose to live in Texas because it has no state income tax, I like it here, my girlfriend lives here and I have yet to find my dream job.
 
Washington State
Oregon
Colorado

We like the areas, the people, the culture and the general attitude. For the most part it seems to fit.


I live in Arizona and except for the months of July, August and September we love it here. Weather, the people, the culture, lifestyle, natural beauty, close to Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, California and Mexico and a short flight to Oregon and Washington State.

There are cities that I'd consider such as Austin, Texas or Athens, Georgia.

well I love home so i doubt id move anywhere unless the not only was it a dream job but a relocation package and like double what i make now (including cost of living if its different) lol

so i guess ill base my answer based on that . . .

but to be honest now that im thinking about it i guess there arent many . . Oregon maybe . . suburbs of Portland?

theres tons of states i like to visit though, been to a few

Oregon because weather wise its supposed to be similar to PA and so is portland to pittsburgh

I like actually having seasons, their gun laws are cool (open carry and conceal licenses), their equal rights are cool . . dont know anything else about them id have to do research.

Yep, possible even better deal would be putting lunch on the company tab.
 
Alaska
bush pilot would be my dream job but I don't have a pilots license so I would have to settle for trapping in the winter and being a fly fishing guide in the summer.
 
Of the states I've been to (about half) that I don't live in, the ones I've most enjoyed are Hawaii (duh) and Colorado, so one of those two I guess. It would have to depend on where in Colorado the job was located ... I need to be somewhat close to civilization.

I've been to many States so the answer to this is easy for me. None. I'm living in the State that I like the most.

Oregon and Montana being close seconds.
California, Washington, and NYC you couldn't pay me a million bucks to move to...or any amount of money.
Rest of the states are "meh".

If only I was 20 years younger......I would do the same.
Now I have to content myself with "Flying Wild Alaska" DVDs.
 
That's actually a hard question to answer for me. I mean c'mon...your dream job! I'd probably put up with living somewhere just ok, for my dream job.

If it was in Arizona, New Mexico or Montana, I'd be there next week :)

Edit: I forgot Hawaii.

I couldn't imagine living in the US, but I could imagine living in a few other nation states. I've recently been travelling and spent some time in Luang Prabang, Laos. I could definitely imagine living there. Wonderful climate, delightful, non-paranoid, easy-going locals, beautiful surroundings, steeped in history and lively culture. What's not to like?

Other places I could imagine living for a while (or forever, who knows?) are Lisbon, Portugal; Cape Town, South Africa; Namibia; Chiang Mai, Thailand. Never say never, eh?
 
I've lived in many different parts of the country...the longest being Oregon and Colorado.

My dream job? The one I have now...retired (mostly).

State I would move to? Now that's a tough question. The only thing I don't like about Colorado is that there is no ocean nearby. Every so often...during the dead of winter or the height of summer play time...I get the urge to just pack it up and move to the gulf coast of Texas. A week at S. Padre Island usually takes care of that urge for a couple more years.

I guess I'll just keep my job and stay put.
 
I've been to all 50 states. Most I'd never really want to live in. I can actually technically live anywhere in the contiguous 48 states but we're in NH because our kids were born here and we love the lack of taxes.

But I'd prefer to live in Hawaii, Arizona or the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

My oldest son is an air traffic controller in Alaska. For Xmas he is flying my daughter and I.up rthere this summer.my daughter is worried that we won't.come back.
 
I recently learned that living in Wyoming gives me 8 times the voting power of those in California, so that must be the place to be.

Otherwise, I'm all for the State of Euphoria.
 
I live in NJ and I have to say the town I'm in is great, I enjoy 4 seasons weather wise so that's not a problem Cultural things are close by with NYC being a 15 minute commute away. It helps being born in NJ to like it I'm sure, but people from other states need to know there is much more to NJ then Newark and Camden. Remember those asshats from "the Jersey shore" were from NYC, not NJ.

I've not been to Hi yet s either there or Florida as I love boating.

I'm not sure about a state, but I'll say a city, and for right now I'm already in it. Charleston, SC. The city is amazing. The rest of the state kind of sucks frankly, but Charleston is great.

Colorado, Seattle Washington, The Twin Cities of Minnesota, San Franciso California, New Port Beach California, Hawaii, and New York, New York would all be very close seconds.

The main reason I chose Charleston over some of the others is that of the weather, the social scene, and the fact that I already have a good crew of friends there. I might have slightly better friends in Seattle and Minnesota, but the weather kind of sucks. If I had a bunch of really good friends in the Denver area of Colorado, I might have to choose that over Charleston though.
 
I'd move back home to rural Ohio, and do my best to never leave the hills again.

Having an OK California income while living in Ohio would functionally allow you to live like a demented god.
 
The only place in America that could make me leave Virginia Beach?

Texas! ..........Port Aransas, Rockport, or any place close to Padre Island.

Great fishing and boating!
