The job market where I live is extremely challenging. It is the hardest place I have ever lived to find a job and that's even before the current recession. It is a very educated population so the decent paying jobs are very competitive, a lot of jobs pay near minimum wage, and my having a Masters degree is a draw back for some of the lower paying jobs from what I've been told. I'm not counting on being able to find other work for that reason. I'd do better to commute south for work than north as the market is more diverse.
We are planning on going to open house/school info nights for all three of these schools in January. Would you rule out the higher performing schools?
