Who lives near Troy, MI?

Reason I ask is if I am offered a job in Troy, I am going to give it serious consideration. I was laid off from my one job of 16 years in early 2013. I was offered a very generous relocation package to there in 2013, but I declined it. I did so thinking that I could find something here where I live. I am having a tough time finding what I consider a good job doing what I have experience in. Well, I been talking to a chemist I worked with at the place I was laid off from who took the relocation package, and there is a possibility I will be offered a job there in Troy. He is a manager of that group, and he recommends me. I took a chance that I could get something here, and it hasn't happened, so it's time to look elsewhere. The move will be on my own dime this time, and I gave up 16 years seniority, but it was a gamble that fell through. It's tough for me cause other than the tech job, I really have no experience in anything else, and with no degree it's tough also. I could go back in doing basically the same thing I was doing, but I don't know about the money yet. I like living here in SE WI, but there is nothing to hold me here. I just want to work for another 10 to 15 years then retire. Thanks.
