I think unexciting jobs is the case everywhere in the US that's not East or 
West coast. I'm in Rochester NY and although the apps are complex (payroll, 
telecom, publishing, health insurance are big here), there's nothing very 
advanced technically. Aside from being a University professor certainly 
nothing requiring a PhD, and only a handful of positions where 
masters-level work would be required. 

That being said, it's a great area to raise a family in with a low cost of 
living, and the market for both kinds of developers (Java and .Net, natch 
:-) ) is finally starting to pick up enough that companies are beginning to 
worry about retention.
