These are the Top 10 cities for job hunting, as said by MSN last week. I'm going to tell you why this is bullshit...
10. Virginia Beach, Va. Cool, race wars, and rednecks.
9. Oklahoma City Are they serious with this one? My rule is that any state that does not have a professional sports teams is off limits.
8. Jacksonville, Fla. Ok they at least have a crappy professional football team, but Jacksonville is barely one of the top 10 cities in Florida, let alone the country.
7. Raleigh, N.C. Really, Raleigh? Enjoy your lunch breaks with Jo-Bob and Jimbo.
6. Richmond, Va. I think that Virginia Beach is probably a better pick than this one. Two cities from Virginia make the top 10 list...Who wrote this propaganda?
5. Bethesda, Md. Come on. Has anyone ever even heard of this city? Bethesda, sounds very appealing, especially for a Jew, I'm sure there's a lot of Jews there.
4. Orlando, Fla. Coming from some one who's been to Orlando many times, somewhat cool vacation spot (and that's a stretch), but to live there would be torture.
3. Las Vegas Isn't Vegas meant for a weekend of drunken debauchery and hookers...uh, I mean gambling? Do people actually live there for more than 5 years, while they are in their mid-20s? You can't live or work in Vegas, you'll lose it.
2. Phoenix It's hard to enjoy yourself when it's 120 degrees everyday. Phoenix is a nice city, and may actually deserve a spot on this list, but no way should be number 2. Well, it is the desert, but every girl from Phoenix is allegedly slammin, so you can sweat it up with your co-workers.
1. Washington D.C. Ok, I can see this as being a good place to live and work, but if you're not in politics, then I hope you don't mind commuting to Bethesda or Richmond.
They say in the article, "College grads often flock to New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago to start their careers. But they'd be far better off in Washington D.C., Phoenix and Las Vegas." Duh. There is a reason why people go to those cities. For one, you better believe that your salary will be much higher in New York or LA than in Raleigh, North Carolina. Also, the general atmosphere, and the quality of life in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco is much higher. There is always something going on in these cities, and that's why they are considered "major" cities. Try to go out at 4:00 in the morning in Oklahoma City, good times.
