That was my bet too. You're probably right about engineering but for most career choices in this country NYC is still the ultimate proving ground.

I sincerely hope that your son enjoys the heck out of his time here, gets whatever it is out of his system and moves on to a more relaxed place to settle.

I can pretty much guarantee that he won't end up regretting the sojourn.

I don’t think he’ll regret it either. NYC would be okay in my book if it weren’t so Democrat.....I don’t even watch NY comedians any more on TV...it’s just one big ‘conservative-bash’ after another. It seems as if most of them and the NY’ers that yuk it up with them don’t even realize there is a whole other country out there.

Or Law, or Medicine, or a million other things. If you work for the financial industry, ok. But even that is less true today than ever before.
There’s a lot of ego tied up in thinking NYC is the pinnacle of everything. But most people do not see it borne out in their results.
And several foreign places like China, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, etc are too busy laughing to take the claims on NY supremacy seriously.
It sounds ignorant to suggest that the only fields not done to perfection in NYC are things like lumberjacking and farming. So stereotypical.
