The rot is spreading in Seattle, the job market for college grads and even people with a little experience under their belts is awful and the cost of living is exploding. We're quickly transforming into San Francisco. I've already started fantasizing about moving back to the Midwest and combining a good education with a not-insane rental market. The University of Washington from every story I hear is essentially unaffordable unless you somehow get a full ride.

Graduate school is the biggest trap of all, there are no jobs and even if you know somebody you are going to make better money at Walmart.

This kind of embarrassment can happen if your TOEFL cutoff for Chinese students is lower than the median global score As a person who paid part of his way through college by working at the writing center, writing centers mostly exist for Asian students to learn to write at an English 085 level. Then we work on second-tier fundamentals, like "stop writing your essays in poetry form."
