Looking for a change.

Well I  have made a decision. I moving from the backwoods of Arkansas, too a more populated area. Getting a new job and getting the hell out of here. I've already put in several applications in for IT positions in the Conway/Little Rock area. I've grown tired of this small area, and the feeling of going no where fast. I've been working for the college for three years now doing shitty IT work, without a raise or hint of advancing. In fact the president feels my position is unneeded, and will do nothing to help it out. If I was too quit today, they would not re-hire for it. 7.98 an hour just isn't cutting it anymore.
It also has a lot to do with the area as well, I've been in a mood to go out, actually be proactive with my life, and that's when the cruel reality of this area hits you. This area sucks, nothing to do. No venues to go out and meet people, the closes bar/club is over an hour away. I need a social life, and this life draining black hole which is north central Arkansas, just doesn't have the social structure to back that.
The sucky thing, the thing that makes this so hard, is my son. I will no longer be a few minutes away, Ill be closer too two hours away. The option of stopping in and seeing him will no longer be there. But I got to do not only what is best for him, but what is best for me as well, and I can't take this shitty ass area for very much longer.
