<p>Isn’t a down payment on a house usually 20%?</p>
<p>When I move off-campus as a junior, the group of us are planning to live in an apartment that’s 4 bedrooms and costs $625 per person. That includes utilities. That’s cheaper than the dorms I’m living in now/next year. Northern California really isn’t that bad.</p>
<p>“nyc public school teacher salaries start at about 40K a year, more if you’ve completed your masters. if you’re interested in coming out here i’d try to get into teach for america or the nyc teaching fellows, since you can start out of undergrad and they’ll subsidize your masters. my boyfriend is a teacher and it’s stressful as haleeeee but really rewarding, and he does fine money-wise.”</p>
<p>I have nyc in mind but also want to keep my sights on other places as well. I just want to move away from va when I finish school and start anew somewhere else, but I if like my stay in Richmond I might stay there.</p>
<p>Other possible places i’m thinking of</p>
<p>Florida
Washington state
Maryland
California(from what i’ve read so far SoCal is expensive)</p>

<p>uhh. quite a lot of college grads make 100k after getting an MBA. In fact, I remember that the AVERAGE salary for an NYU MBA is like 100k, more for some schools. </p>
<p>and that’s if you plan to work for someone. which, in my opinion, is essentially modern day slavery. You rely on a company for your salary, and the more $$ you make, the more you rely. AND, the more you make, the more you get taxed. You work feverishly making 100k while the senior mgmt above you makes that in a week.</p>
<p>starting a business makes MUCH more financial sense.</p>
<p>BMWdude, starting a business does not guarantee financial success especially in the first two years. For one, you need to start with a large sum of money–even a small fund such as twenty thousand. If you are buying inventory the number is larger. If you take out loans, you’ll be paying your loaner back before you’re able to make profit. Your business doesn’t start making 100k the first few years. You’ll be lucky to be making 60k unless of course you are doing independent consulting in which case you are not buying inventory and rental fees.</p>
<p>I think you have an unrealistic view of how business works. It’s not all money your first year. I own two business, one independent consulting and one is a retail store. You’d be surprised how little money you earn as a company owner after taxes, employee taxes, inventory, and rental fees are due. You make about 30-40 cents to a dollar.</p>
<p>I don’t advocate working under someone because personal I’d never do it either. I’m just trying to make you understand that starting a business is not a guaranteed success.</p>
<p>You’re really dependent on your investors, then. Everyone is dependent on other people in some form.</p>
<p>a) MN
b) UMN (Twin Cities)
c) Well med school (Mayo in Rochester, Northwestern in Chicago, Johns Hopkins, any Ivy, Washington University in St. Louis, or UMN. Lofty goals but I know that I am willing to put in the work to get what I want)
d) After med school, I want to live in Rochester (Mayo) or Chicago. Mayo has such amazing connections and benefits. Gosh… I think I truly underestimate that place sometimes.</p>
<p>I still want to stay in NYC assuming I graduate from NYU with a my bachelors. I’m def. going to reapply to NYU for grad school and Columbia (for Journalism). Hopefully by then I’ll have a stable income and will be able to afford an apartment in Manhattan.</p>
<p>I dream a lot-
A] Italy
B] Greece
C] Belgium</p>
<p>a. San Francisco, CA</p>
<p>b. St Andrews, Scotland</p>
<p>c. I probably want to travel for a while, but eventually maybe the pacific northwest, such as Seattle</p>
<p>A) Miami
B) LA
C) Miami or LA</p>
<p>A) Dallas, TX
B) Ithaca NY, Cornell
C) Med school here in Dallas at UTSWMC
C.1) Hopefully in the pacific NW, maybe seattle</p>
<p>A] Ann Arbor, Michigan
B] St. Paul, Minnesota (Macalester College)
C] Not really sure. I’ll go with wherever my grad school is, because chances are I’ll either be in grad school or will have recently completed it, and if I like the place and find a good job, it’d be convenient to keep living there.
C (Ideally)] Chicago, Washington DC, Boston area, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, somewhere in the UK or the independent part of Ireland, the Netherlands</p>
<p>A) DALLAS
B) Tuscaloosa AL
C) Wherever I go to grad school (IVY, Duke, or rice)
D) Maybe D.C. for a few years, then NYC then LA/SoCal for a little bit each, and travel Europe, then settle down back in Texas near Dallas. Home sweet home.</p>
<p>Yeah a alot of my location after college depend on graduate school.</p>
<p>Ooh, I would love to live in Italy or Greece as well. <3 I visited Greece once, however, and now I have a permanent tan. (Because of it I’m two-toned now, gah! Luckily, it’s not noticeable unless I point it out to someone in a well lit room.) I’d have to prepare my skin to deal with the sun, and prepare my hair to deal with my heat!</p>
<p>But Hawai’i is still all the more tempting. :]</p>
<p>Good 'ol town (or lack thereof) of Corcoran, Minnesota with the family.</p>
<p>Ideally, though, Fort Myers Florida.</p>
<p>A] Switzerland
B] University of Miami
C] NYC, attending grad school at Columbiaa haha i wishhh</p>
<p>somewhere in south florida…preferably SRQ (Sarasota). <3</p>
<p>Sarasota isn’t South Florida…</p>
<p>haha fair enough…it’s southwest florida</p>
