I have been thinking of some sort of moving solution once I graduate. My first employments will most likely be short term and I will likely have to travel. Would make it easier if I wouldn't have to get a new apartment every time I move, possibly from one end of the country to another. It does have certain appeal in it.

Today, the cost of higher education is ridiculous. Average tuition at a public university, in state, is $8,655. At a private, it’s $29,056. My program would cost, in total, a reasonable $11,000 after grant aid. But it’s not just tuition that puts students into debt; it’s room and board. At Duke, where rates are similar to universities across the country, a non-air-conditioned dorm with two roommates costs $5,464 an academic year. The cheapest meal plan for freshmen is a ghastly $5,540, or $27 a day |
Seeing that I can get
paid and not the other way around to get a degree all the way to having a doctorate, I think I'd rather stay here in the the cesspool of socialism for now.
