I've asked myself and all of you. Given it some thought. Your words, rephrased in my words:
Julie's opinion: "No! Cameron! You can't leave us!"
Sara's opinion: Same as above. Less excitement.
Jimmy's opinion: Florida has an evil side. Don't let this hinge on the location alone.
Brandon's opinion: If it'll be a good learning experience, go to Florida. Location should be irrelevant in choosing this.
Nikki's opinion: I'd rather you stay here, but Jimmy's right. You've got to judge the merits yourself.
Kaitlin's opinion: Go to Florida. It'll be a good experience.
Alicia's opinion: You'd probably love Florida, but stick with the merits of the job over everything.
My opinion: I don't know that I'm ready to make a six-quarter commitment to a glass company. I'd rather do steel. Metallurgy is kinda my thing. AK would be the best choice, naturally, for three reasons:
-This is the company that inspired me to go into metals.
-They're close enough to still play D&D every Monday with Jimmy, and yet just far enough from home so that I'd have to move out. Perfect.
-I'm almost guaranteed to pick up this job. I can go into the interview and have nothing but real enthusiasm. Plus, they really need process metallurgists. That's what I want to do with my life.
My other options are Celina, which is near where Alicia lives and does aluminum (This means visits on the weekends) and Special Metals in Huntington, WV. West Virginia is a fuckin' ghetto. The whole state. The job there wouldn't be bad.
Either way, I'm sticking with metal. We metallurgists are a dying breed. Can't have one of us running off to a glass company because the ocean sparkles in just the right way. Besides, half of you told me to do it specifically for the job. The job that suits me best - the one that would have me going home every day in need of a hot shower and a good degreasing - is AK Steel. Middletown sucks, but you guys are worth it.
I really hope I get another interview before PGT calls me.

WOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Oh yeah. I don't think anyone mentioned the weather in florida. Sure, it's sunny and warm, but you have tropical storms. 4 out of the 21 days I spent there were without power due to hurricanes. This was just outside of Tampa. So it's not like it was some backwater garbage heap. Like west virginia is..
