Don't leave California! It's the best state in the world! Plus, if you left, Rsisk would be sad.

Leaving CA is not something to do on a whim, that is for sure.

Thank your for the invitation. Do they let students do the hiring?

I saw that, but wasn't sure... seems they are looking for industry professionals, but I will look into the site in more detail.

I will email her and see if she has any hot tips, and possible ask her to keep her ears open for any in the coming months.

I really want to thank those of you that responded for taking the time to consider my situation. My reasons for wanting to leaving CA are personal and philosophical. I still want to teach, and I still want to get involved in robotics. Having just started a team here I feel especially guilty for even considering leaving. Its nice to know that wherever I end up (or even if I stay) that there is a strong community of FIRSTers out there.
