Thread: Moving on up...

I figured that I would post up, just incase any of the DC locals end up seeing me driving around/ lost. I am moving to Hartly, DE. the weekend of the 14th, but upon obtaining a position I will be moving into DC. I just graduated with my Masters degree and I am coming out to DC to look for employment. Anyways, if you guys see Fosters old NX running around then honk and point me in the right direction.

Will do, I may be in a white work van with this guy on the back of it with a bunch of stars. Or I will be in a white NX

Welcome to the area

where in DC you moving to?

At first I will be located in Hartly, DE, until I am able to gain the lay of the land/ potentially obtain employment. I am not to sure of what areas are good and bad. After I figure this out I will be looking for a short term room to rent, which is close to the metro/ allows me to park the NX. If anyone has any recommendations, that would be great. I have heard that any where on the red-line is fine, but I am also looking into the Arlington area (mostly because of it's central location in relation to the entire metro area).

Btw, I am actually leaving Myrtle Beach in ~1hr, so I after the drive I will hopefully be up there for good.

Drive safely and let us know when you arrive north.

DC is nice... I just put an app in for a rental in dc... (by capital hill)

red line is def the best to get on, but Arlington aint bad, depends where you are working...

I rolled in around 10:00pm last night. Traffic on I-95 is no joke. It was bumper to bumper for approximately 50 miles, starting outside of Quantico.

Btw, if anyone in the DC Metro has a couch or room for rent let me know. I am currently in talks with a couple of different places on positions, but I didn't realize just how far out I currently am (Midwest mindset). I am so far out that the amish are my current neighbors (not a bad thing, but probably not the best for location purposes).

where are you applying?

your commuiting from PA to DC? parting there sucks too man..
my 1.5 commute from MD sucks heh

I sent you a pm, but this way everyone else also sees what I am applying for.

I just graduated with my Masters degree in Public Administration and Policy Analysis. My focus' were in homeland security, terrorism, U.S. foreign policy, and nuclear weapons policy. I am looking for something in the policy or research realm, but am pretty much open to anything.

Unfortunately I was unable to find anything around the St. Louis area, so I came to DC due to my background.

I am currently just across the Maryland border inside of Delaware. I came here first, as I have a family member that lives here. I am staying with them until I am able to find a place to stay or figure out the lay of the land. Once that happens my wife will be joining me (sometime around the beginning of November).
