Are there any opportunities for IT professionals in Alabama? I hear cost of living is very low there. Wouldn't mind moving there! :)Of course, wife has plans to move to Europe, but if that doesn't pan out, I wouldn't mind going to Alabama at all.

Mobile county has 10% sales tax and the expected insurance costs of living in a flood zone on the gulf of mexico. We feel like we spend about as much living here as we did in Miami. If you are thinking about this state, I'd recommend Huntsville, Birmingham, or the Fort Payne/Lookout Mountain areas. Mobile has been consistently mismanaged for the past few decades and the city is having a hard time reviving downtown.
Not a lot of us in this state unfortunately. I'm in Mobile, at least for the next 18 months. Would love to meet others in the area!
My fellow Mobilian! How many of us are there?

From Mobile also, but living out of state at the moment. I'll drop by for the holidays.and COL is way cheaper in Mobile than up here in an "average" part of the country. Housing prices for one. At least out west of Cody.
