[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi - my younger brother is considering moving to the DC metro area. He's in his mid 20s and has a bachelors' degrees from a state university in Connecticut. He majored in Spanish and worked for two years as a crisis counselor for at-risk kids, then spent a year working in sales for a home improvements company. He isn't sure what he wants to do - more school may be in his future- but for now he is mostly interested in sales, marketing and management kinds of jobs. (To be honest, he's pretty open). He has good people skills and is a hard worker.

Any suggestions of companies or jobs he should check out, and/or suggestions of affordable, safe neighborhoods for young couples? His wife is an ESL teacher, so odds are they won't be making a ton of money regardless.

Thanks!

But WHY does he want to move to DC? Does he believe there is strong career potential? Because it's located near friends/family? Because parts of it are very hip right now? The PPs saying that we are being classist and that plenty of people get by on low wages are correct - but those people most likely have strong family and community ties to the area. Sales and marketing have way, way better opportunities in way lower cost of living areas. It's just a boneheaded plan. [/quote]
