Alabama has done well by me. I live in the Huntsville area. Huntsville has the highest number of PHDs per capita in the nation. There are also a slew of engineers. Madison county (Huntsville and the surrounding area) are highly educated the rest of Alabama...ehh. Most people around here draw a distinction between Huntsville and the rest of Alabama. My title is a Software Integration Engineer although technically I'm not an engineer. Both my wife and I make over six figures. Not bragging. I'm informing you that people in Huntsville are educated and have money. Cost of living is stupid cheap as well.
Below is the house we just built. You'd be amazed what we paid for it.
Alaska is probably a state I'd never live in. I'm in Fairbanks now and I couldn't imagine choosing to live here.
