[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Actually, the PG gig is the better financially, because MOCO only pays $12,000 more per year, but housing is triple that. So, if you teach in MOCO, you make 12k more, but it will be way more expensive for you to find housing near your work. If you are single, you'll be able to rent an apartment in MOCO. If you're single in PG, on the $60k, you'll be able to buy a house in a nice area (as I did) or if you don't want to buy, you can afford to rent a house or a bigger apartment and actually have money to travel. In MOCO, that salary won't get you far. Of course, you could work in MOCO and live in PG, but then you're commuting more and spending more in gas. So considering cost of living, that $12k more you get to teach in MOCO doesn't amount to much.[/quote] I don't spend 12K a year in gas, though. I can live here in Hyattsville but work in Silver Spring, or even commute to Arlington. Doesn't cost anything like $12K to commute. [/quote]
