Most of our stories are aimed at a college-aged audience. Some of you are working while in college. Others are making plans on how they’ll follow a path to the career once they graduate. When it comes to getting a job, there are three words you should remember: location, location and location. It goes without saying that if you want a job in a certain field, you need to live in a place where those jobs are available. Something you might not consider right now is that a long commute is something you might want to avoid in your future work.
