I think there is some good advice here, for young people. But also a caveat.

I moved around a lot when I was younger, and now live several hundred miles from my hometown. In my new place, I have friends that have never moved-- they are my age, yet they still have high-school friends, family, and acquaintances that stretch back decades. This brings a web of trust that's really strong. Having a "place" in a community is immensely advantageous.

There are pros to moving around, but there are also pros to staying put.
