Funny.. just spent the past year and a half in High Point. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Boring, rude, a little dirty in a lot of sections.. Greensboro didn't look much better either. Spent a year and a half trying to find a job with my just finished degree too. Word of warning: If you don't have 3-5 years of experience, not many there will hire you.

Now I've moved to Florida. I have beautiful weather, my apartment is on a golf course, so nice scenery, and I'm much happier with more things to do. You couldn't pay me to move back to the Triad. Point is, go where you can find work, even if it's out of state. In this economy, beggars can't be choosers, ya know?

I spent some time in Florida, and its one place I would never live unless I absolutely had to. Way too hot, and too many bugs, snakes, rats, and alligators. And no mountains.

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and its far and away the best place to live in the US imo. Not to hot, not to cold, beautiful scenery, plenty to do etc... Only downsides are the cost and the need to fly for 5 hours if you want to travel outside the state.

Pft.. if I could afford it, I'd live in Hawaii in a heartbeat. That's why it's so expensive, lol. Otherwise, everybody who likes the tropical weather would be there ;)

lol. Everyone keeps saying "boring"; just what are you looking for in a city?

Depends on the degree, as well.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from an AACSB school with my BBA in Accounting. Was one of five outstanding graduates of the year, and was on a ton of student-body/faculty-appointed boards for my school. Admittedly, it wasn't a huge school, but it was a State University and not ITT or something. Between the economy and the fact that I took 2 and a half years off from working to go full-time, I came out at exactly the wrong time I guess. Finished my four-year degree in two and a half years (24 credit summers suck btw), so I could get a head start on getting a job for the TVM aspect.

Yeah.. I fail at life :(

you'll know if you ever live in a real one.

Depends on what you want. I lived in Honolulu, and there was plenty of nightlife and all the things that go with a large city. Wouldn't want and don't need that now. Wouldn't mind living in Hawaii, but I wouldn't live in Honolulu again, or any other similar sized city. I like Winston Salem just fine.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
