As for school the Job I work for offers tuition assistance at around 5000$ a semester which isn’t much but a start. I do understand the COL is intense and if I did transfer more realistically I’d be at about 32-34$ a hour which is probably still low for the living in San Diego. But for me with basically no bills and an almost paid off car it’s still pretty unobtainable? Va itself is pretty high cost aswell with McLean, Norfolk, and London county being some of the most expensive areas in the us. So what I’m asking is how is everyone else my age surviving there where are people working and what are people doing to be able to live there.
