Malvern, PA
The Bay Area is way too expensive to live. Thinking of applying for a job in PA, anyone have an opinion on this area?

Naw, the actual move would cost about $2-3,000... Right now that's a month rent for me, and I would probably be making the same there as here.

I know of a couple of hazardous waste sites there. I have no particular impression of the place itself.

So that's why they recently voted down a tax initiative.

There are hazardous waste sites all over the country, of course. But when you asked about Malvern, instead of having the usual reaction ("huh, never heard of it"), I thought "oh, yeah, I think I've got a couple of claims down there").

I goggled it.

It's outside Philly, near Hershey... Hey! I could hang with my main man Speers

Saw a lot of companies there that handle hazardous waste...

Man, I'm hungry

I use to want to go into it (career wise, uh, processing it, uh, well, you know what I mean), and I specialized and water management in school... Somehow I ended up processing (aseptic) parenteral pharmaceuticals. I saw a job out there and they are looking for someone to help them put to together the protein purification and downline processing facilities... I do like separation processes

Not a computer nerd, but I sure sounded like a geek there

I guess so. I saw a job there...? Don't know if I could "get" it but I have the experience and fit all the requirements. But I guess when I show up with the expectation of turning a trick or two I might not get it... But then I might get "IT"...

Just remember -- you made that comment, not me.


Oh, and don't let Albert Speer's talk about violence scare you from moving to the area.
