Hi,
After many years away I am coming home!!!!!!!!!!!! Born and rasied in Ashland and wondering were all the good manufacturing jobs are? Need ideas about were to move, good schools, jobs, etc. Thanks much. Cal |

The folks I know having the best luck finding work like that are in Lexington.
I am in Maysville and the manufacturing jobs here have picked back up some but are still fairly spotty. Most of the folks I know around Ashland are not in manufacturing so I have no idea what that job market is like there. I do know they have monthly USPSA and IDPA matches at the Ashland Gun Club Pistol Division. I go shoot there sometimes. |

I grew-up about 12 miles from Ashland and my parents still live there. Seems to me you better be in a medical field if you want to live in the Ashland area and have a good job. Armco (AK) Steel... mostly dead. C&O car yard... mostly dead.
I would look around Lexington/Louisville/Cincy if I was you. |

I also grew up in Ashland, but have retired from the Army in Oklahoma. My Dad worked at Armco, Grandfather at C&O(or was it B&O?). Ashland Oil was around. Hell, most guys went straight from High School into plant work. I have been getting the itch to move "home" lately. I miss the trees, mountains, etc. I never thought that I would.
