> I think we'd need to know your geographical location? I'm currently looking for jobs to relocate, so technically I can move anywhere. In fact, one of my goals is to move to a place with a good local college. I agree with your point about degrees. You're right - rituals are important!

> I'm currently looking for jobs to relocate, so technically I can move anywhere. In fact, one of my goals is to move to a place with a good local college. I suppose I'd choose a major city with a strong intellectual culture (well-educated population, fine and performing arts). There you will find many colleges and universities; many schools that specialize, such as art schools; and most of all, many people in the community who can teach, who you can share your interests with, learn from, get tutoring from, etc. - communities of people who love this kind of thing. I guess I'd choose New York most of all. The amount of talent and interest in the things you're interested in is incredible. It attracts people like you. And of course the local resources are unmatched, maybe in the world: Schools (from Columbia and NYU to the New School (I would definitely look them up if you aren't familiar - if they have programs that suit your schedule, they could be perfect), to City College and Brooklyn College, to many more. For the fine arts, there are the incredible museums (which probably offer classes), galleries, and the artist community itself. Also the world leader in theater, in finance, publishing, etc etc. It's a fantasy world for the intellectually curious. Others: Bay Area and Boston. Philadelphia is affordable and has excellent resources. It's trendy now to trash major cities, but don't forget what makes them so special; that is unchanged by political winds that blow right and left.

  Thanks for the thoughtful response! I like cities. But NYC, which I visited recently, felt really crowded and overwhelming. I do get the appeal honestly, and I after your comment I'll consider it more thoughtfully.

    > But NYC, which I visited recently, felt really crowded and overwhelming. That it is. It's like many particles contained in a small area. They collide more with each other, and their collisions convert their movement into energy. If the other particles weren't around, the movement would amount to nothing. :)
