I was under the impression they were stuck there due to kids and the fact that moving to the city with minimal education =/= does not lead to much more positive career tracks. A dead end job in the city is a dead end job with highEr in rent, color, taxes, etc. Fine for the single person who is young but not the older guy with kids. Same with college....hence the rise in online schools or scummy for profits.
