Jobs are where you find them, that
will more than likely tell where you are
going to live. As far as one state being
better than the other, all states and
cities have good and bad parts!
I live in Arkansas, where I was born,
It's home, family and all. It has lots of
good and a little bad, If you don't like
the weather just wait 10 minutes and
it will change 8), we have big lakes and
lots of rivers and mountains and bottoms
[Flat land].
Do alot of checking around and look
for chamber of commerce in the place
you are interested in

Why don't you FS around some of the
places and look at them I know it's not
100% acurate but a lot of the landscape
is close, check KNAX my home airport,
that's pretty much what we got!!!
Fly east and look at the lake M$
got it close

Hey Craig, Well, almost Anyplace you go in America has a museum, so it's really what part do you want to live in. As with anyplace, there are area's to avoid, but in general, your museum isn't really in those places. Just from living here in NY, obviously NYC has ALOT of Museums,...all different types. I know out on the Island where I live, there are a few in the Hamptons. Actually there is an opening here at "The Museum for Aviation History". They are also looking for somebody to give free flying lesson too!!!   Haha, just kidding, that wouldn't that be great!
Listen, if you are serious and have questions about a museum or where to live, you are welcome to contact me. Maybe I can be of some help.

thanks guys your help is much appreciated, and thank fly:)
as i said in the end it goes down as my mums final choice as it will be her who has to do the job. i keep trying to explain to her that it would be a good idea to perhaps take a short holiday over there, find a museum offering a job and speak to them but she is still reluctant somehow thinking she will fail if she does. Ok admitidly i would like a free holiday right now but hey thats between me and the members here  
chances are she is looking more towards the pacific northwest as she wants that landscape and doesnt really like the hot weather. but as fly said new york has a ton of them to.
anyway thanks again guys your opinions are much apreciated

I have lived in NY, TX, NV and ND. For every good point I can find a bad point. Is the weather a factor? Like snow? hit the North Eastern US. Like snow and ungodly cold temps (-25*F for a day time high..not wind chill), go to the nothern plains. ( ND, SD, MT) I wont go on because you get the point. Like "X" said, the jobs are where you find them. The area that you end up at is only as good or bad as you make it.

thanks again guys i will pass on the suggestions.

thanks VA. my mum doesnt really want to move to new york as she is trying to avoid the major citys. As it stands right now she is looking to apply for a job at a museum in hawaii, if that doesnt happen then it could end up being anywhere. she has also not ruled out the possibility of australia. personally i would like to move back to my home town of middle wallop but that wont happen, my next choice would have to be somewhere like florida or somewhere down south(i have a weakness for southerners ) apparently there is a chance also of a job in birmingham(uk not Alabama) but if she doesnt get that then its a case of moving abroad. sadly though its all her choice not mine(i just provide your suggestions) so i will just have to go in toe or move out on my own :) i'll keep you updated
thanks again guys,
i will say this though, for somethign she says she wants to do on her  own its amazing just how much time i am having to research all the jobs places to live visa requirements moving companys and so on
