I am in the Bloomington area which is an entirely overrated town. If you aren't into bars, this town kinda sucks. Plus, if you are not a college student, it is tough to fit in. Employment opportunities here are horrendous. It seems like the only people getting hired in Bloomington are rich IU students who just need a job for beer money and not for bills. Cracker Barrel isn't even hiring. Finding a job would help me tremendously with the depression I am facing right now. Most my problem is related to unemployment.

At least you have a job here. I haven't been so lucky. I would move to like Oklahoma or somewhere with a better market, but I don't have the $$$$. Although, since I am unemployed, I have considered maxing out my credit cards to go if I thought I would find a job quickly upon arrival. I am still thinking about it though.
Consider the Indy area then. Indianapolis is to big to be a college town and several areas of the city are unique with culture diversity since Indy has their cultural districts. Also plenty of jobs are coming and theres quite a few openings if you know where to look.

I don't really know about any of this. But I really hate the hot humid weather, it makes me feel sick and gives me headaches.

I just don't like it. Unfortunately, it seems to be a problem throughout most of the country. I remember a few summers ago we didn't even hit 90 degrees (officially). I wish we could have that summer back.

At least in Chicago you will likely find much more to do in terms of social life.

And weather aside, in certain parts of Chicago it would be like he never left home.

ya and lets not forget the Teenagers that roam the streets and the organized crime. Just a few weeks ago there was a mass shooting with people armed with AK-47s shooting at a transport Bus. Lets not forget the super high cost of living/political corruption and brutal taxes. If you want a social life in Chicago its wise to have a armor vest on to protect yourself. Also isnt Chicago the only city in the country that doesn't allow concealed carry of firearms for protection? The smell is bad too.

just keep that in mind about Chicago VS Indy. Sure Indy isnt 100% crime free but we dont have people roaming our streets with AK-74s shooting the IndyGo Buses.
