but in moving to California isn't that showing that perhaps u don't VALUE living in the NE as much as u think u do? go w/ me for a moment here, if u did VALUE living in the NE to the point where u wouldn't live anywhere else, then the "best" option wouldn't be in California, b/c California wouldn't be an option.
u wouldn't have looked to California in the first place, b/c u would have limited your search for a nu job in the NE, b/c u VALUE living in the NE.

well, doesn't that mean u VALUE money more than u VALUE living in the NE?

i think it's the opposite really, i think your VALUES shape your "Options." it's like this, if i'm broke, prostitution isn't an option 4 me b/c of my values, while for others it is a valid option b/c they have different VALUES. yes. i'm sure of it, Values shape what u define as OPTIONS. again going back to engineering, values are like your constraints for a design. what is a feasible alternative solution (read: "Option") is constrained by non-functional reqs (read: Values).
