>Work is not everything. I actually never knew a person who moved because of work<

Academics are one exception. I have moved five times over my career, including from coast to coast and continent to continent to have a livelihood in my field. Work can still be very rewarding.



Oh true! Once you reminded me, i realised that i knew two people who moved simply because they got academic positions that didn't exist elsewhere. Scientists need to be around their peers, and stuff in most fields happens only in a few places so they got to move. They truly are an exception.
