Q: I want to move to Denver but worry if I will not be able to get a job because i'm from california.
A: CA transplants: In general CA has some very smart, enterprising residents who any city would want to inhabit. However, like any state, it also has some trashy low life residents who nobody wants. The cost of living is high in CA, much higher than CO. So, what happens is the trashy residents move to CO only for the lower cost of living (whereas, transplants from the midwest, east and south move to CO for the great weather and outdoor sports. However, CA also has good weather and outdoors sports, so, CA peopole usually move here only for financial reasons). They end up treating CO like their personal, low-class outlet shopping mall. Therefore, they give CA transplants a bad reputation. TX transplants: Overall, SOME (not all) people from TX generally tend to be arrogant and have an inferiority complex with the whole "everything's bigger in Texas" wannabe cowboy image/style. So, they buy large SUVs and they are horrible drivers. They drive too slow in dry conditions and are all over the road in the snow. They can't ski well and get in the way on and act obnoxious in ski towns. Plus, they have wierd infatuations w/ college football and expect us CO residents to be impressed when they roll up to a bar or restaurant in Aggies or Longhorns gear and cheer loudly during a football game. All in all, what I said are stereotypes and not by any means true for ALL transplants from CA or TX. If you're a down to earth, not pretentious, positive person, you will do fine here and have no problem getting a job.
