The Forgotten Po’ Boy From Nashville?

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in quite some time…….Steve Sullivan.http://tennessean.com/article/20081216/S…
Do you think he will return to the NHL as an impact player or is he as done as Valeri Bure?

Kentucky Or Tennessee? Why?

I prefer Tennessee:
-Better job market
-Better scenery
-Smoky Mountains are awe-inspiring
-Nashville and Memphis are great cities that have preserved their historic districts and music heritage
-Clarksville has a nice quaint downtown
-Vanderbilt, Univ. of Tennessee, Belmont, and Rhodes are among the best schools in the country
-Population projected to grow 30% over the next 30 years b/c of its job-friendly market climate
-No state income tax (ties in w/ last point)
-Still hasn’t lost its Southern hospitality, especially in the small towns
-MUCH better class of people and less pretentious than Kentucky; people hold doors open for you, and say “thank you” when you hold a door open for them. Some of the best service I’ve ever had in the service industry has been in Tennessee; Kentucky retailers tend to be less polite and more snooty.
As the commercial goes, Tennessee is the “All-American Getaway.” Apparently it’s becoming more than that.

How Many Years Of Work Experience Do You Need Before You Can Find A Decent-paying Job Out-of-town?

I really hate the city I live in, especially the people, and I cannot take it anymore. I wanted to relocate immediately after graduating from university, but no one wanted to hire someone fresh out of college with no relevant experience. I have traveled all around the country and narrowed my search down to a few select cities. Is it possible for someone with one year of relevant work experience — plus a Bachelor’s degree — to land a job in Seattle, Sacramento, Minneapolis, Tampa, Charlotte, Nashville, Memphis, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Richmond or Baltimore? Or are employers looking for candidates with several years of experience? I like my current job, but I cannot tolerate this city/region; never have, never will. Please help me out… I have never relocated before and am desperate to be the next person to make his exodus from this sinking hellhole.
