You've proposed that the OP make a major sacrifice in terms of quality of life in order to be better placed to find a job, that's comparable to telling a poster that there's lots of work in Fort McMurray without explaining that moving to Fort MacMurray has snags. It seems only fair to point out the level of deprivation he or she would suffer in pursuing that course.

I, and I assume most other people, would find a job then move to the place of a job rather than move to some wilderness inconvenient for jobs in any probable location. The only exception I can imagine would be that there's something attractive or interesting about a place, a ski resort for example, that would make it worth some inconvenience to live there. Milton? Pull the other one.

The problem is that you get spammed to death with bullshit.
