I created this list about a year ago so the quality of these areas have probably changed as Memphis is rapidly growing.

Hello everyone, I currently sail the great lakes, and make a very good living doing so, and have been advancing my career rather rapidly and have nothing to complain about in that regard.

The value of college is rapidly deterioating, attendance is dropping and costs will only accelerate their growth curves and this will only cause things to worsen when the entire college industry is taken into account.
