And at the same time, you say "I don't want to get the crap kicked out of 
me by standing up for myself" - which to me DOESN'T sound like that great 
of a place to live.  Unless you like living in fear of having the crap 
kicked out of you for standing up for yourself.

I understand that there are things you like about MK.  I also understand 
that you haven't actually seen a lot of the world, so your decision-
making being based on what you know is what's limiting you.

Nobody in MK perhaps, which is why you maybe need to broaden your search 
parameters - and not just by fields, but by geography.

That's my point, and one you have rather persistently not seen.
