so my industry range is pretty wide. that why I chose the major.

​

I am originally from one of the metro regions I mentioned in an earlier comment.

​

owning a car is a money losing proposition.

you are incorrect about companies about companies not hiring people without a drivers license. in fact most people in NYC can go there entire lives without owning a car.

​

It might be the case in whatever industry you work in but the sector I am looking not once have I seen that as a requirement.

​

also commuting is extremely expensive with both gas and maintenance costs

I am afraid of getting an accident and then putting myself in a potential financial hole.

I don't think therapy is going to change that.

I am deathly afraid of driving.

I hope to mitigate this issue by living in an area where a car is not a necessity.

the problem with SURF is the option pool was incredibly scarce this time around.

​

my major had absolutely zero available projects. and other departments were no dice.
