So I was at a recruiting event at Purdue this week. More than a dozen students I talked to mentioned that they would like to stay in the Midwest because their families were here. Seriously? You can go to anywhere on the planet and you want to stay in the Midwest where 6 months out of the year is snowing?! And when you go somethwhere you measure distance not by miles but by hours of driving?! People need to get out more. The world is a lot bigger than your neighborhood diner. And good luck looking for a job in this increasingly globalized world.
