Financial: Moving is expensive. Just me moving from Austin, TX to San Antonio, TX cost about $1,000. When I was about to move from Austin, TX to Nashville, TN, it was going to cost multiple thousands of dollars to move. The UHaul alone was multiple thousands of dollars. I was fortunate to have the financial means to do it, but a lot of people don't. Career: If you have your career going, you often don't want to "just move." I don't want to go somewhere else and have to start over in tenure again, start over at a company that I probably won't like as much, possibly have to switch careers because of a lack of similar opportunity in another area, etc. Family: If you have a significant other, then moving is not just your decision. Your partner also has to move, find work, etc. If you have kids, you have to also spend time looking into schools and things for them in the area of where you're going to live. You have to consider how they're going to get to/from school, what activities they may want to participate in in the area, consider the neighborhood, etc. Sure, if you have little to nothing that ties you to where you live and few belongings you need to bring with you, it's easier. The more roots you have in the ground, the harder it is to pick up and move somewhere else. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
