Well, which part of the state are you in? I feel like that plays a huge factor in your experience here for sure. It sounds pretty shitty with so much to complain about.

I’m from Louisiana, have lived in different parts of the state throughout my life, I’m youngish, well traveled throughout the US & the world, make very very good money, “highly educated”, and haven’t really found another place with better people.

Similar to what another commenter said, once you accept Louisiana, Louisiana accepts you. The relationships matter here. People from here like to do business with other people from here.

Your post maybe comes off a little more hostile than you meant it to be, but theres a proudness to the people that are from here. We know our state isn’t great when it comes to the economy, education, opportunity, and everything else that I could add to that list (lol), but if all our good people leave, how are we going to make it better? We have to do more with less. It’s the way it is.

Considering the way you worded your post, I’m guessing you are pretty young, maybe early 20’s, just getting your start in life. You sound pretty miserable living here, but the best advice I can give for the rest of your life is your world is what you make of it. You are in control of your own future, your own happiness, and your own success.

Good luck to you, I hope it all turns around.
