And I'm not sure if I'll be working outside, but if I do I will definitely love the hot weather! I did materials testing last year for a small company and about 3/4 of my time was spent out on construction sites carrying heavy equipment around and doing tests. I hated it. Also, being a young girl on a site full of 50 year old men who have to just look at each other all day got me some attention I wasn't really ready for. I would love to get a job doing something like drafting, or even just lab work where people would just bring samples to me and I could stay in the lab all day and work on them. But I guess I can't be too picky and I'll take what I can get!

Nevada is definately cheaper! Land is cheaper. We had considered that a possible move for ouselves as well. Good luck to you!
