My three graduated 05 06 and 07.  All studied out of state and went on to complete grad school.  All returned to Alaska.  Two have since left and one remains.  In our case, all three could not secure employment that would support high cost of living here and repayment of student loans.  Wish we were all here together but no regrets about getting good educations.  For me personally, 10 years ago Alaska was a promising economy and a great long term consideration for all of us.  Today, my own small business is half of what it was and I'm just thankful at least one son remains.
