[quote=Anonymous]As many other people have stated moving to D.C. does not seem like a good idea for your brother. Yes, there are a number of people who hold low paying jobs but to be comfortable in DC you need to make $83,104/year (google it). Additionally, since he is looking for entry level jobs as he is moving into an area he hasn't worked in before he will be competing with hordes of recent college graduates from decent local colleges. If he thinks he might go to grad school down the line why not move somewhere he could actually save some money for that endeavor? Or move to somewhere with a public university where he could at least get in-state tuition if he could get into school there? And, frankly I don't even know if this area has a particularly strong marketing/sales/etc industry.

By all means, he should move outside of rural CT. But why not look at a city like Portland or Chicago or Baltimore or Denver? Or literally any other city besides Boston, NYC, and the Bay Area?[/quote]
