LOL.
It's literally the opposite.
The job markets in metro areas are the WORST.
I can attest to this. I have been monitoring the job boards in major metro area in Texas as my plan was to work in BFE for a few years and then return home. However, now that I have the experience I do not even see any openings to apply to which is the worst it has been. And with a new school just now graduating people, another school to be releasing their grads in a few years, and a another new school that will be accepting students soon, the chance of returning home and having a life outside of work looks grim.
What is the point of going through 6-8 years of schooling and amassing 100-200K in loans just to either be unemployed or having to relocate to the middle of nowhere away from family, friends, and civilization? Gravy train is long gone.
