I was an 'immigrant' from the US Midwest to Silicon Valley. Grew up raising hogs and making hay. One of 6 on the farm.

Four of us left Iowa seeking a better life: two VPs of Fortune-500 companies; one entrepreneur (me); one wandering IT specialist.

Our Iowan cohort we left behind are pretty much driving the school bus, working food service, mid-level office managers.

So some correlation between 'willing to leave' and 'ambitious enough to succeed'?
