There is the opportunity, the networking and all that, but there's also the backstabbing and phoniness. The key thing about NY vs. Ohio is the shock. Sure, you had that Summer internship, but try living on a train line that takes 20 minutes to arrive, having to transfer two times to make it into the city, all so you, your hubby and child can live in a neighborhood that doesn't have to worry about what colors one wears or loudmouthed fools to pick fights with.<BR/><BR/>I miss home.
