[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are the prime candidates to be leaving the DMV altogether.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life stuck in a cramped 1950s rambler with crap kitchens and dying utilities in Wheaton and commuting every day to jobs that you increasingly dislike and will come to hate? It's the epitome of the grind. The grinding daily grind.

I'd be making a three year plan to leave the DMV altogether.

That doesn't work for a lot of people.

A lot individuals grew up here and much much more took jobs that are basically only available in the D.C. area (especially if you have a family).

You work in a SCIF? You're basically precluded from ever moving.

You work in International Relations? Unless you want to move to New York or the Hague where the COL is 3X that of D.C. or every three years to random foreign countries - same deal.

You're a biomedical researcher? All of your career opportunities are in HCOL cities with long commutes - Boston, Bethesda, San Francisco take your pick.

You spent your entire career on Capitol Hill or Senate research? Try finding a comparative job outside of the DMV unless you really want to go into state politics.

Lobbyist? I don't know a single one that doesn't need/want to be close to dealmakers.[/quote]
