Amber Collier goes to Purdue University Calumet in Hammond. She says her advisers give her job leads, but they're not usually in Indiana.

Matt Lambdin is from Michigan and went to Valparaiso University. He says he couldn't find a job in either state and he ended up in Illinois working for Exelon Nuclear.
He says most of his classmates left the Hoosier state as well.
"The guys I was in a fraternity with, most of them were from Illinois. To be honest, they were very few that were from Indiana, but most of them moved back to Illinois," said Lambdin.
He says it's all about jobs and salary and he and his classmates didn't see a lot of opportunity in Indiana.
