When I graduated from college I moved from an all Black environment in Atlanta (HBCU) to a job in the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN. The only person that I "knew" when I moved there was the person that recruited me and some distant cousins that I had not seen for about 10 years. It was a great experience for me. I got out of my comfort zone, met some great people and had some great times. I ended up leaving MN after about 2 1/2 years but it was still a great experience. Are you planning on getting another job in addition to your internet business? With the internet you can do some job search without even leaving Chicago. Who knows, you may even get a company to pay for your relocation! Be lead by the Holy Spirit, but know that you are already at an advantage because you know some people there already.
