Same thing here. I’ve heard it referred to as ‘Brain Drain’

The Universities in Missoula and Bozeman, Montana both have top notch environmental study programs. But whether native or out of state student, the grads inevitably end up in: Seattle, Portland, or Elsewhere.

There’s just no money here.

People who study STEM fields in Alabama either have to work for NASA in Huntsville or move.

It worked out for me for a while tho. I got paid double for being a chemist in small town Alabama than I would have gotten somewhere like Atlanta or Houston. Simply because...what's the odds of finding another chemist within commuting distance?
