Provide a discussion of your intended career and a move from Shawnee (or your home town) to a city in the US where you would like to get a job. Do not use two cities
in Oklahoma. What is the median salary for someone in your field in the initial city you are using in your research? Site the source and/or assumptions made regarding
the median salary. Assuming you are making that salary, what is the salary comparison from your home city to your destination city (i.e. in other words, what would
your salary in your destination city need to be to have the same standard of living salary as your home city and site the source)? What is the average home sale price
and average household income for your destination city? What is the median transportation time to work? What is the population of your city? How much more or less
will housing and groceries cost at your destination city? What are the crime comparisons? Do you still want to live there? Why or why not?
