Seattle was recently named the “Most Educated City” in the U.S. after a study found that 51% of the city’s inhabitants have at least a bachelor’s degree. We were followed closely by San Francisco, CA and Raleigh, NC. I might point out that Philadelphia was near the bottom of the list with only 20% of its residents possessing a bachelor’s. A good friend of mine (I won’t mention his name; let’s say it rhymes with “Tames” or “Names”) lives in Philadelphia and is complaining that there are too many thugs there. His claim is supported by statistics. My suggestion is that he consider moving to Seattle, where intelligence is a good thing.

Thanks for your suggestion Miss Jodi, but you’ve clearly forgotton that my name rhymes with “Famous.”
At this rate it probably won’t take me much longer than another year to tire of Philly, although I do still enjoy a lot of what it has to offer. Unfortunately I think the next stop may be Midland [ugh...short term sacrifice for long-term gain], or a town with a good B-school [think Boston, SF Bay, Chicago, all three large enough to keep me entertained for a few years].
I will make it to the white-collar west one day, though; Thanks for forging a path!
I know what you are really saying. I grew up in Seattle and now that I have left the smartness level has gone way up! Hmm, so much for a former Seattle boy!
