My dad may take a job in Washington DC, which would be a long distance from my current home (Maine). I am in college currently, and I will probably just stay in my current spot. I do not intend on moving to DC. I like my home. No big deal for me. I have top notch job options in Maine, and I can find a place to live if need be.
My brother, who is 18, and is in his 5th year of high school is kinda screwed though. His options are to move to DC or New Jersey, with his grandparents. He could stay in Maine, but he would need to find a place to stay, which is difficult for an 18 year old. He does not want to switch schools, or leave his friends behind. I personally think it would be an awful to switch schools midway through the school year. Especially in your 5th year, when you need to just get out, and don't want to deal with being left even further behind. I live in Arizona for most of the year, so I can't give him a place to live.
Besides that, I think DC is a shit-hole. I've been down there many times, and I have a pretty low opinion of the place. Not to mention all the rich city fuckers that you have to deal with. I have similar opinions of New Jersey, and so does he.
The way I see it, having to switch schools is the big deal-breaker. That would be an academic disaster for someone who cannot afford any slip-ups to begin with.
Advice?
