True ^ kalm
The thing about High School drop outs is they persuade others (sometimes powerfully)
I was very close to dropping out of HS after I'd been kicked out of a HS in Baltimore and changed schools

:nod:
Just because someone drops out does not make them stupid. Many drop out due to boredom and not being challenged.

I'm going to guess the # of high school dropouts on food stamps far outweighs the # of high school dropouts who can be called even moderately successful.

Gee, I don’t have a fancy map...can I play???
Blue states, like California, New York and Illinois, whose economies turn on finance, trade and knowledge, are generally richer than red states. But red states, like Texas, Georgia and Utah, have done a better job over all of offering a higher standard of living relative to housing costs. That basic economic fact not only helps explain why the nation’s electoral map got so much redder in the November midterm elections, but also why America’s prosperity is in jeopardy.

Red state economies based on energy extraction, agriculture and suburban sprawl may have lower wages, higher poverty rates and lower levels of education on average than those of blue states — but their residents also benefit from much lower costs of living. For a middle-class person , the American dream of a big house with a backyard and a couple of cars is much more achievable in low-tax Arizona than in deep-blue Massachusetts. As Jed Kolko, chief economist of Trulia, recently noted, housing costs almost twice as much in deep-blue markets ($227 per square foot) than in red markets ($119).

When the hell did the American dream become materialistic?

Growing up the American dream was to create a just and equitable society in which liberty bears fruit to prosperity. It wasn't a "big house with a backyard and a couple of cars." :lol:

3Bd/2Br is about the max I'd want. Absolutely no house, and definitely no yard. Currently living in a 1Bd/1Br and it's basically no maintenance, dirt cheap relative to my income and location, cleaning takes less than an hour, and it forces you not to buy too much crap because space is at a premium.

The less I have to take care of and spend, the more free time and money I have to enjoy life.
