Geez.  Why do people think that there are "no jobs" anywhere but in DC?  Obviously people who live there have jobs and people who move back have jobs lined up.  They are not all starving and on welfare.  Good Lord! I am a lawyer and all of my law school friends are still in the Midwest, and they all have great jobs.  As do my friends from undergrad who were business majors.  There is something that exists mostly outside of DC called industry/business and it has actual jobs for people.  I know that it is a difficult concept for some of you that people can work in jobs that aren't somehow related to the government.[/quote]

All your friends are probably happy but at the end of the day they chose the safe route, they were too scared to go too far away from home, intimidated of the competitive coasts. Fearless go-getters funnel to the coasts because they crave competition and need to be around the highest concentration of smart people. It's tough to talk to people from back home because they just don't get it — they never will. They live in a bubble, they have never left the bubble. Call us snobs all you want but those of us who moved at least have something to compare flyover country to. The ones who never left have no idea what's out there.[/quote]

Unlike the "safe' underachievers in other parts of the country, "fearless go-getters" flock to DC, where there is the "highest concentration of smart people"?  Ha Ha Ha!  No, fearless go getters start their own businesses, build up their own communities, and take risks.  Some of the people who flock to DC are the opposite.  They want safe government or government contractor jobs. And, judging by some of the idiotic comments on these threads, DC hardly has the largest concentration of smart people.  And you think that the people who live in flyover country live in a bubble.  Wow!  The laughs just keep coming with you.  The DC area, with its recession proof protective government orbit, is the biggest bubble around, as clearly demonstrated by the smug provincialism of people such as yourself.  Did you ever think that maybe some successful people move back home so that their children don't have to be raised around smug elistist assholes who have a disdain for the vast majority of their fellow Americans?
