Guy, I, for one, will take some (good-natured) exception to your comment about anybody "wanting" to live out here in the Midwest. While I wouldn't want to live in Iowa either due to their political makeup, I live across the border in South Dakota. Wide open spaces, fresh air, the occasional blizzard to keep us humble, and so on. I would much rather live out here and get paid a bit less than to live in the rat race. I live 8 miles from work, in the country and commute to the heart of downtown. On a bad day it takes me 20 minutes during what we call rush hour to get here.
Some people prefer the big city, others of us are content with a smaller, slower paced community.

Why would IBM want to put a call center out in the middle of nowhere and expect to find anyone that would actually WANT to move there? Must be looking for "cheap" labor from you know where. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
