Moving is a scary thing, that's for sure. I've moved from China to Texas, from there to South Dakota, from there to Indiana, and now I've just moved again for college (as Sycamore is well aware)
My experience with moving has been that it always gets better after you've settled down for a while. I have to honestly say that every place I've moved to has been better than the previous place, at least in most respects.
Why wouldn't anyone believe that there aren't many jobs (nowhere near as many as 5 years ago) in the computer fields? I think it's obvious that the economy is quite bad right now, and the computer field has especially been hit hard. Hopefully by the time I get my undergraduate degree in Computer science, the job field will be good again
What I see nowadays is a lot of CS undergraduates going for graduate school in CS b/c they can't find a perfect job like they thought they would when they started out. Even graduate CS students have trouble finding a really good paying job. Some of those people are going to graduate school simply to kill time.
