We’ve been asking our listeners this week about their relationships with their jobs. One thing that’s touched a nerve is the question of far young workers are willing to go to find good opportunities. Many younger listeners told us they were open to taking a risk and moving somewhere new, but it just wasn’t a decision they could afford to make. However we did also hear from more than a few listeners who did manage to take a leap. Takeaway listener Michael Bird left his home in Colorado Springs in search of better opportunities in Oklahoma City. Also joining the show from Bridgewater, Massachusetts is Takeaway listener Cody Hullist.
