Pretty awesome to have to move a cross the country to find opportunities because the ones that used to exist locally are now being filled by Mexicans or shipped to China.
Not awesome at all. My point is that this is mostly an issue found in blue states like MN, and NOT in red states like MS. Your people likely wouldn't need to move across country, I am sure they could find work in neighboring SD, ND, or IA. The solution is changing your state government.... or moving.

Some people make a career out of going to school
Still going to school in their 30s and 40s.
Poor buggers will never catch up financially to the ones who entered the workforce early.
Is this a dig at me?? If so... I entered the workforce at 16 and worked all my life. I am currently increasing the money in my IRA exponentially through active management of my accounts. And yes, I went back to school in my 40s because I was getting too old for the physically demanding jobs I have worked for the past 20 years and am looking for a less demanding career for the next 20.
