Let's see if we can salvage this as an appropriate topic, however,

If I wanted to be a farmer, I wouldn't think of living on 83rd St in
NYC, if I wanted to be a movie director, I wouldn't live in Idaho, and
if I wanted to be a oilman, I wouldn't live in Maine.
Doesn't being a technical writer come along with it the responsibility
to go where the need is?
