[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mind with a degree in foreign language and history from university of Seattle moved to DC around 2013. He moved there w/o job. He has a support structure comprised of acquaintances all of whom had a stronger educational background.

1. He spend about 8 months unemployed.
2. Got a job at a temp agency (eventually) as an office assistant.
3. Got let go when contract ended.
4. Got a full time job as office assistant. Wanted that to be is "foot-in-the-door."
5. Still working off-and-on as an office assistant.
6. Has been unsuccessful in the dating market because in DC he does not have any status/income so nothing but a string of casual dates. He only gets these because he dances and girls like to be taken out for Latin dancing.

[b]As stated above. DC is not a place you move to w/o a job and w/o a strong educational background with a strong skill set in your specialization[/b].  [/quote]

shh...apparently anybody who doled out this advice is an elitist who has no idea how the real world works. [/quote]
