Do You Live Within Ten Miles Of Your High School?

According to this Fed report on the economic well being of U.S. households:

""Nearly half of adults age 22 and older currently live within 10 miles of where they lived in high school, but those who have moved farther from home are more likely to be satisfied with the overall quality of their neighborhood.""

San Francisco and Oakland are about 12 miles apart so I'm close.

I live over 100 miles away. I am pretty happy wherever live.

I do but I just moved back last year after 17 years. Atlanta was fun in my early 20s for awhile. By my early 30s the Birmingham suburbs became a drag. I'm glad to be back in the rural area that I couldn't wait to leave when I was in high school.

Technically it was 10 miles from where you grew up, not ten miles from where you went to high school. The answer for me is technically no but I do live within 10 miles of the house my parents bought a month after I graduated so I am spiritually within the fringes of what they were getting at I suppose.

Good catch, thank you.

Thousands of miles away.

But I also found this tidbit from your report intriguing.

"Just over half of those who attended a for-profit institution say that they would attend a different school if they had a chance to go back and make their college choices again. By comparison, less than one-quarter of those who attended not-for profit institutions would want to attend a different school."

Speaks well to the perceived value of public education institutions.

I always had this palpable feeling that those "for profit" trade schools and vocational schools were just mostly a con job. Profiteering and capitalism at its worst.

I mean, the "Trump Real Estate School". Need I say more?

I was always aghast at those "radio broadcaster schools" I used to see advertised on late night TV. I really don't think that is how Howard Stern got his start.

Yep. Came back home after college because I love my hometown. Will never leave.

Alabama public school, eh?

"Just over half of those who attended a for-profit institution say that they would attend a different school if they had a chance to go back and make their college choices again. By comparison, less than one-quarter of those who attended not-for-profit institutions would want to attend a different school. Speaks well to the perceived value of public education institutions.

First of all, creeper, this thread is about high school, not post-secondary education.

Secondly, note that your conclusion is not supported by the text you cited. Nowhere is a preference for "public education institutions" expressed. You assume those who "say that they would attend a different school if they had a chance to go back and make their college choices again" would choose a "public education institution". That isn't what the report says. Then you attribute the loyalty of those who attended not-for-profit institutions to the school they attended to "the perceived value of public education institutions". That, again isn't stated in the report.

More likely it's the free room & eats @ Mom's or the ankle monitor that keeps you there.

Loser.
