not sure yet, STEM comes off as especially vocational, but I'm not some idiot that would pick a major that doesn't require being taught. I used to want engineering, but it looks like a major trap of a career. We'll see. I don't want my degree to push me into a singular career, too boring of a life. I mostly want recommendations on where to live as a young white male in the USA. I read a lot, exercise, want to date, etc...

Seattle seems nice and they have a lot of community colleges so that'd be easy, but it seems like it's becoming extremely gentrified, low vacancy rates, higher rent prices.... it also seems a bit isolated in the top left corner of the country like that, with just portland and vancouver 3 hours each way. not too interesting, especially since it seems like a lot of jobs there are microsoft/amazon/boeing/spacex or whatever, lots of chinese/indians... not my scene. Otherwise, seattle seems to read a lot and are educated.

new england doesn't have as many community colleges, but it seems like there is more going on what with such major metro areas from Portland ME down to rehobath beach, and it at least looks like there are pockets where I can find something not extremely expensive. my grandfather wants to keep monthly expenses at ~$1,100 top, and that's just rent and food, and I already cook my own food and such so that's inexpensive for me.

Both places seem very pretty, their nature I mean.

TL;DR not important just want location recommendations
