I am happy to say that I have recently moved back to Michigan after living in Los Angeles for 18 years. I grew up in Brighton, Michigan and worked in Ann Arbor. I have noticed a few changes since I returned. I am pretty sure that Michigan's winters were not this cold when I was a kid. The traffic on Michigan's freeways has become just as congested as the freeways in Los Angeles (okay maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration). I think that somehow Michigan has become even more picturesque than I remember. Ann Arbor has grown quite a bit and I will be mourning the loss of Jacobson's in downtown Ann Arbor. Where will I go now to indulge my shoe obsession?
As I re-acclimate myself to this community, I am also discovering some aspects of it for the first time. My prior experiences in Michigan were as a child and teenager.

I have already solved the most difficult part of this self-discovery puzzle, I have decided to pursue a career in internet marketing, specifically pay per click advertising. The next logical step would be to research local companies and see what is going on in my field of interest. Of course the best way to find out about online marketing is to surf. Surfing is one of my passions. So I have thoroughly enjoyed researching local companies specializing in pay per click advertising, search engine optimization, web analytics, as well as several other aspects of internet marketing.
It is exciting to discover that in my very own community, there are several successful companies doing some pretty remarkable things in my field. My research has given me a renewed faith. There are still many possiblilites for an ambitious college student wishing to build a career in Michigan's struggling economy. I can't wait to share with you some of the things I have discovered in my upcoming blog posts. Please stay tuned.
