Fact: The average person in Maryland, New Jersey and Conn. makes three times as much as the average person in Mississippi.

FACT: The average cost of living in MD, NJ & CT is probably >3X of someone in MS
Avg. 3BR 2.5BA in jackson ms.= $90k
Avg 3BR 2.5BA anywhere in MD, NJ & CT >$350

Did they teach you this kind of stuff in susquehanna or just expect you to learn it while riding the John Deere bailing hay?

Baltimore Sun, Aug. 29, "Maryland is ranked as richest state"

"Demographers note that while Maryland took the top slot last year, its median income was not statistically different from New Jersey's at $64,470. Maryland's income was nearly three times that of the nation's poorest state - Mississippi.

The figures come from the American Community Survey, which, unlike the once-per-decade census, are an estimate rather than a true head count. The tally includes jurisdictions of 65,000 or more and, for the first time, includes people who live in group quarters, such as nursing homes, prisons and college dormitories."

Fact: This happens to also lower the average starting salary of most Susquehanna graduates. 

Did you pull that statistic out of your ass? They did teach us to research and support so-called facts at Susquehanna. Your cost of living argument is irrelevant since the COL is dependent on average household earnings and economy. Despite a cheap COL in Mississippi, its residents are inherently poor. Wouldn't one rather have more and pay more than have less and pay less?

Dood,

Reg has no idea what you are even talking about after reading your post 5 times......maybe that's just me though.

You understand cost of living right???  Is this too far over your 1st year post graduate head, since you are still living on/near campus?

"Wouldn't one rather have more and pay more than have less and pay less?"
What are you talking about.....?  Just because you live in NJ doesn't mean you make more!!!  COL means if you make $50K in mississippi and are living large, that you better be making a buck fifty in CT, NJ or MD to carry on that same lifestyle.

Please let me know if I am moving too fast for you.

come on reg didnt you take COL 101 in college....you know just like this student at susque in class...

FYI: I don't want to bust your bubble -- you seem to be assuming yourself quite handily -- but there's no agriculture program at Susquehanna, nor are there many rural students. Not that there isn't anything wrong with that; I'd rather a school of hicks than conceited crumb bums like yourself. Just as I'd rather be dead in Pennsylvania than alive in New York State.

ZING! Oh wait, I guess I'm one of those crumb bums (?)

Thanks for the heads up PBR....good save.

Here is a question to you Susque......Does cost of living have anytihng to do with records?....i.e. say susquehanna finished... I don't know....2-8 last year.....and then moved to manhattan or something.  Would their record go up exponentially with the COL?

Reg just threw those numbers out there.....they are not meant to be pretentious.
