I work in government...I've been trying to get there for the past couple of years. I'll get a high grade level then bounce to a lower cost of living area.

Moving to DC would be the biggest mistake you make in life.

Housing..

To get a reasonably priced single family home you have move over an hour a half away to Frederick. There was no housing crash here. I literally can't understand at all how most families I know making less than me are surviving.

Culture...

The city has no identity. Most people you meet are not even from DC. It's full of super competitive type A personalities. People are drab and boring, a bunch of nerds solely focused on their career. Unfriendly, and closet bigots. Yeah, museums are cool as well as the many national events that take place here. But most likely you'll live to far away to take advantage of most...

Nightclub...

I cosign poster who said everyone is just standing around looking at each other.

Schools...

There are some great schools in Montgomery county and Virginia.

Colleges...

Pitiful.

Fashion sense..

Non existent

Food...

I think it excellent. Many unique privately owned smaller places. A great variety/diversity as well.

Traffic/commute...

I'm impressed the metro system is not that large and needs expanding but it's the most attractive clean sub way system outside of Europe. The beltway can be rough but I don't think it's that bad unless you work in the middle of the city.

Women...

Seems to be fine/normal to me. Nothing to get excited about however.

Jobs..

Plenty of jobs. You will find work. But every cent will go into your home/living arrangement.

Diversity...

Very diverse, yet fragmented from what I've seen. There are people from all over the globe. Tons of illegals. Salvadoreans are just embarrassing however.

In summary, I don't think it's worth it for a single person. If you bring home the bacon it's a nice place to raise a family. But you can certainly live better in many other places. Did I mention boring?

Georgetown isn't top 20... Outside of Law, Business and Politics, it doesn't rank in the top 20. I went to NYU btw and had the options of Ga Tech, Emory, Michigan, Virginia, UPENN. That top 10 psych department and NYC :smugbiden:
