san frans vs. shelton?

I thought I was sure, but now I've still got some thinking to do.

San frans:
- freakishly high salary
- free catering lunch & dinner
- web crap: 80% PHP and 20% Java
- apparently very "data driven", whatever that means
- big city
- far

shelton:
- middle of nowhere in connecticut
- an hour or so from stamford (or at most 2)
- freaking suburb
- not sure what the pay is exactly
- data mining position: MUCH more interesting

I think I will choose Shelton (if my concern about transportation is cleared up), but it's interesting what I'm forgoing: 4 months in lovely San Francisco, California with a lot of waterloo interns, an opportunity to explore a new place, and a chance to develope socially. But heck, I think I'm already doing well in that department. I should focus on the "home" thing I spent so much time writing about =).
