[quote=Anonymous]I actually do know plenty of people who did this in their 20s.  moved here, lived in studio apartment in Arlington (or in one case, Navy Yard) and had a blast for a few years.  DC is expensive, and I wouldn't do this if I was about to have kids or otherwise planned on working lowpaying jobs for a long time, but it offers an incredible diversity of people, jobs, arts, entertainment, parks, etc.  both of my close friends who did this moved on and went back to school after a few years of it (one at nonprofits, another waitressing, etc).  Others have stuck around and worked their way up in their organizations.  Anyway, if your brother is just interested in living in an interesting city for a few years, this place is great.  but if he wants to stay longer than that, he may want to try somewhere cheaper or come up with a more concrete career plan.

I don't know much about sales and marketing, but presumably his background might also be desirable at some nonprofits or services organizations.  an ESL teacher can find work anywhere, albeit not wellpaid work.[/quote]
