so my current work obligations are coming to an end, august-ish/ september-ish.and i'm searching for a new place to call my coffee "home".
i'm not incredibly partial, just no -20 degree winters and no 110 degree summers. i have alot of experience, both in chain-store type shops and small third wave type shops,too. i currently have a pretty awesome job as staff trainer and lead barista at the shop i work at which is an awesome 3rd wave shop . however i think it's time for me to move on.
dont get me wrong, i LOVE my job.
places i have considered: olympia, wa , washington,dc , philadelphia, western mass. , new haven, ct., los angeles, portland,or ( though i would probably spend my first 6 months unemployed), and atlanta,ga.
my main issue with pittsburgh is that it is very isolated. it takes at least 6 hours to drive someplace else that's kind of awesome ( cincinnati, toronto, philly). the economy is pretty stable here and lots of forward-thinking individuals. buying a house is really cheap. plus the coffee scene is pretty cool. i'm just getting restless here. ( yes, i know. it could be worse.)
i just need some baristas to weigh in their opinions about where they think a modestly talented fellow barista with a lack of direction should move to...
help?
