There are a lot of tech jobs in Atlanta, especially on the north side.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Would you happen to know what an average IT salary is in Atlanta? What are the CCW laws in GA? Any pending AWBs? |

As a software engineer, you should be able
to move to any industry - don't limit your choices based on industry. I moved from networking (writing firewalls for network appliances) to medical (writing a claims processing system). FWIW, look south - don't come to VT. While it is probably the MOST gun friendly, there are a limited number of jobs and it is damned cold. |

I was thinking about VT...
Is the job market really that bad for IT guys? |

It is sad because I really do love NY. My family and friends are all here, but I can't stand the liberal mindset. The only way I'll stay is if the GOP keeps control of the Senate in NY

Yes. Not much local turnover in my company. People either move out of state or retire. None of the "job shopping" that we all enjoyed during the boom. |

Some of the best gun laws in the nation and one of the strongest job markets (perhaps the strongest) in the nation. |

If you are married with kids, it is awesome. If you are a single guy, it sucks as the single scene is pathetic. Let's put it this way: I am willing to give up a six-figure salary to move out of this state.

Salaries vary widely depending on what kind of work you're doing. I have a friend who makes about 60K doing general IT work for a clothing company, another who makes about 50K doing general IT and some programming/database work. I have another friend who works for himself as a contractor and makes about 120K. Not sure about average salaries. Cost of living is probably lower than NY. Just for reference, I bought a 3200 sqft house (includes partially-unfinished basement) with 1.5 acres in a very nice neighborhood in a good location with good schools for about 175K. Not sure how that compares to what you're used to. Property taxes for me are about $1300 per year. CCW is shall-issue as long as you can pass a background check. Costs about $50 and is good for about 5-7 years. No pending AWB legislation. One was proposed by one of the fringe liberals in the state government last year, and it got thoroughly shot down. State has a law stopping cities from suing gun makers. (Liberal Atlanta mayor tried that crap, and the rest of the state smacked him down.) Class 3 is A-OK. Basically as long as it's legal at the federal level, it's legal in Georgia. Some parts of Atlanta are liberal zones, but the rest of the state is conservative. |

Another option is getting a job working as a NYS corrections offcier. Since they have Peace Offcier status the AWB dosnt apply and can CCW in all 50 states. I know a few guys that work in NY and live in PA, VT ect.(think m16) Benefits are excellent. Another test is comeing up in 2006.

JBravo,
Look into Nebraska. Omaha should be a town looking for IT guys. Cost of living in Nebraska is one of the lowest in the States. Our gun laws are good with the exception of the CCW Bill that still hasn't passed. We can have machine guns, suppressors, and pretty much everything except for Destructive Devices I think. There is plenty of public hunting land and a few farmers still allow outsiders to walk thier fields during pheasant and other seasons. Also there are alot of good gun dealers and places to shoot. I enjoy living here and hunting here. Thanks Arvin |
