Theresa,
ReplyDeleteI never thought about looking for jobs or communities of practice outside of my home state. I would be also willing to relocate if I felt that the job was the right fit for me. Currently, I am struggling with making a decision about what I want to do when I graduate. This degree offers so many possibilities. I think I will start looking for positions avaliable out of state to see if there is anything that interests me.
Thank you for sharing,
Krista
