nah, I can handle the truth ratman, but actually, if I may risk offending people, there were "Help Wanted" signs up everywhere the last 3 times I went (post Katrina) but the jobs offered were the jobs vacated by the people who lived in the Ninth Ward, so mostly kitchen help and maid services. Since I am looking for a teaching position, I would not have too much trouble in regards to the population because colleges attract out of town students, and Tulane and Loyola still have full campuses. The truth is that, the garden District and French Quarter are still going strong, though there are fewer tourists.

I do however, have a problem in that "Yankees" are not easily embraced down there and I am still working on advanced degrees, so they prefer an established Prof. But I will get there eventually!!

I see what you are saying, but for me to leave NY, I would have to have an intense love for the place...so for me, it is New Orleans or NY...the only other state I would consider is Virginia.

GlennVirginia, thank you for bringing disgrace upon the Vietnam Veterans Memoiral. Maybe the next time you can use the Bronze momunmnet of the flag raising at Iwo Jima.
