I've been trying to decide for a while what makes a good home for a Network Admin... access to physical, reliable 
upstream routes? good selection of local taverns? What, in your opinion, makes a good location for a Network Admin and 
where in the US would you find that?

Also, I'd like to introduce myself [[ o/ ]] I've been watching the list for a while now and have found it helpful with 
picking up some "best practices", getting use-case scenarios you might not see in text books. I attended Michigan Tech 
for Computer Networking and System Administration and have been bouncing around for a couple of years trying to find my 
calling. I've been working a lot with VoIP and that's been my interest ever since middle school. I've been mainly 
playing with stub networks for most of my life but have recently started working with larger routed networks, leading 
me to subscribe to the NANOG list. My latest endeavor was acquiring and ASN and a /24 from ARIN and multihoming a very 
small MSP. I've been fortunate enough to have really sharp mentors to help answer any questions I've had along the way. 
I know there must be quite a few people like myself that are lurking on the list and I just wanted to thank you guys 
for answering other questions and providing input on topics that have come through the list.

TL;DR: Hi, see subject
