Other states have more to offer for college graduates looking for tomorrows jobs in research and development within many high tech sectors. I have a BSME and an MBA from Michigan school and I left the first chance I had. The benefits of leaving far outweighed the benefits of staying and hoping for work. To move meant better wages, a more stable economy, more people my age who were also young professionals and a city that was more attractive to live in. I was raised thinking that all major cities were run down dumps like Detroit, Flint and Saginaw so you can imagine how surprised I was when I when i started to travel more domestically. Where I was living in Northern California cities were vibrant, cleaner, the economy was diverse and strong and there was a clear group of people who were working young professionals who lead dynamic lives, people who worked hard to succeed and had a continual thirst for knowledge. It might be here in Michigan but it is nowhere near the same feeling as it is in other areas. I think people who are very determined to have a great job in a growing industry that is high tech and fast paced have little reason to stick around Michigan. If you travel and look around at what other places have to offer it is clear how far behind the state of Michigan is and why young people leave and don't come back.

Couldn't you have found someone else to serve as your example? When I heard the young woman complaining that she would have to go out of state because she couldn't find a local job with her art history and classic civilization degree, I, and everybody over the age of 30, nearly ended up in a ditch we were rolling our eyes so hard. Of course she can't find a job, she has a degree in art history! And classic civilization!! Trust me, a person studying art history and classic civilization really has no interest in getting a job because there are maybe 1.5 such jobs nationally - even when the economy is booming. You pretty much lost me from that point on. If you had interviewed someone with a degree that used to automatically mean a job upon graduation, like accounting or engineering, and that person has to go out of state to find work, well then you'd of had a story. But art history, come on. I caught this story on the way to work Thursday. Couldn't you have found someone else to serve as your example?

Those that have left are those the state needs most! Maybe you are not from a family of industrial production. There is something to be said for those who work with their hands, actually producing a useable product as opposed to your chosen interviewee in art. A lot more consideration of balance in future stories would give a significant boost to credibility. A bit elitest! Those that have left are those the state needs most!
