Should I pursue recruiting in the North or South?

You should pursue staying in your MOS and avoid being a recruiter at all costs.

recruiting is what you make of it, plain and simple. If you go to a "Military friendly" area you could sign many contracts without a challenge or without reward, while in a more "liberal" area you could face the challenges and become the top recruiter in the station, company, or battalion. I chose Miami because I wanted to be in a warn place, near the ocean, I never stopped and think about what the job will require from me. After a long painful year of not being able to meet the quota, I learned how to be a better leader and soldier, I also learned about myself and what the real meaning of failure is. Our company went from bottom to the top as well. When I left recruiting, I was successful, I earned my Gold badge with three sapphire stars (I hear there are no more points now days). Of course, keep in mind I was a recruiter during the days of the surge in Iraq and times were different. Your must select a location based on your personal goals, both long and short. This could be the time where you earn your bachelors Degree if you don't have it yet, or the place where you sink and fail your career. Take a minute and call recruiting offices in the areas you are interested, ask them for their honest, impartial, and biased opinion. Finally, you must remember, is what you make out of it! Good luck! Put them in boots!

Currently in the North.
