I've lived in both, Boston native tho - dif vibe, but IMO both better than AZ(For me anyways)- more water here, both to float in and falling from the sky

Ahhhh, spoken like true 23-year-old! LOL! No offense Dave, but in the next 20 years or so you will realize that there is A LOT more to life than your career. Yes, you have to make a living, but there are sooooo many other things that make life worth living - otherwise the best income on the planet won't mean a thing.

Honestly this is something I am still struggling with - money vs. family vs. everything else on the list. It can be a real problem, but I always remember that no one on their death bed ever said "I wish I had made more money."

Good Luck!

I see now that I jumped in the middle of a thread that I was not entirely clear about. Sorry.

Just ignore the crazy woman in the corner.

I'm not 23, far from it - and OF COURSE money is not everything, we all know that - but if you find yourself at 40+ in an unsecure, low-paying job with no security and little benefits how well can you enjoy that good quality of life? My point if you are 23, you would be wise to choose somewhere to live that enhances the development of the career path you wish to pursue.
