Hello all. Looking to the forum here for help/advice. My son had a phone interview the other day for a job that offered placement in either Marshall, VA or Forestville, MD. He thinks he would rather have the Marshall, VA location based on information from the interviewer. They are looking to bring people in this Friday for face to face interviews. He is trying to decide if he should go or not. What is the area like? Cost of living? Rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom place? He will be living by himself so doesn't need much room or even amenities. Based on our basic search it looks like maybe $1500 per month? Seems a little high. Is there anything lower but still safe areas? He is a recent college grad and is currently working in Pittsburgh but drives about 80 miles a day round trip so he is hoping for something no more than 20 miles from work. Currently he lives at home with us so although this job pays quite a bit more, still not sure he can afford to pay rent, utilities, etc. Based on our rough calculations he would be comfortable at about $800/month but not seeing much under $1300-1500.
I may even consider moving...lol. Be nice to buy a 32'er on the Chesapeake...lol
Any help or advice?
