    From your opening post:

    So, at one point does it make sense for a young person to move across the country?

    Your own words: “young person”

    Lad, you dumb shit. There is a line where you cross from being a pedantic twit to being an obnoxious ass. I can assure you, you didn't get your butt stomped enough as a young man. Or you've watched so much porn, it has rewired your brain.

    Why talk to him? He has no social skills.

    Surely, there must be something there. I suspect much of this is an act, while he tries to stifle his chuckles at the rubes. Surely. Could you imagine this behavior in most any local bar, where average guys drop in to have a beer or two and argue about sports, women or bitch about their job?

      It would be a very bad idea to keep the act up in that environment.

      And yeah, it's all dunking. Which, sure, people are people, we've been doing that to and with each other for decades now. But when it's all you do? Really?

      I don't see the point in taking a conversation in good faith when the other person does anything but.

          Recent grad: I can make $50/hr in San Diego

          Old fart: Yeah, but average rent for a 1BR apartment in San Diego is about $1400/month more than Baton Rouge. You can make $32/hr in Baton Rouge, and utilities and gas are cheaper.

          Recent grad: Besides, California girls are hawt!

          Old fart: Lad, have you looked at some of the girls down here?

          So, at one point does it make sense for a young person to move across the country?

          Agree. Sometimes recent graduates just look at salary, without looking at all the other things such as how far their money will go.

          A lot of government agencies, like MOFA, if you are posted internationally, will give you a increase if you are going to higher priced city.

          I think it was Facebook(?) when working remote was a things, talked about scaling salary based on where you worked. If you were paying someone USD$200K to work at HQ in Silcon Valley, and then they were working remote in Dickinson ND, do they really need USD$200K?

            Here are the top 15 cities where today's college grads are applying for jobs most:
            New York
            Chicago
            Dallas
            Los Angeles
            Atlanta
            Boston
            San Francisco
            Austin, Texas
            Washington D.C.
            Houston
            Seattle
            Denver
            Philadelphia
            San Diego
            Miami

            NYC gets twice as many job applications from new college grads than the second place Chicago.

              Shocking! And totally surprising! I never would have thought that New York (with twice the population of Chicago) would get twice as many job applications. That is completely unpredictable and goes against any kind of common sense that I would have thought of…

                Ax you should compile these sorts of counter intuitive statistics into a freakonomics style book.

                          Again! Brilliance in the simplicity! Hoisted on my own petard, so to speak. Calling out my univariate argument by utilizing a univariate fallacy! You are absolutely correct. My argument did not take into account areas that are shedding businesses, jobs, and population. Of course, we’ll ignore the fact that total job applications ≠ recent college grad applications…

                          Still, I’m surprised there aren’t more recent grads applying for jobs in LA. You can get abortions there, after all. Cheap ones…Yet Austin getting a ton of applicants but you can’t get an abortion there. That’s very weird.
