[quote=Anonymous]Not everyone in DC works in politics. Not everyone has a "top degree" or ever worked on the Hill. There are multiple industries other than politics. Is your brother interested in travel/tourism? That is a HUGE industry here (albeit, because of government). There is also a huge technology sector. Decent financial services presence as well. Largest association presence in the country (or maybe second largest behind Chicago, one of the two). Also, not everyone in the DC area lives in the city. DH and I both work in NoVa, not in politics, live in Western Fairfax County. Raise our kids and live our lives, just like we would anywhere else.[/quote]
