Interesting. I lived in Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda for a couple of
years,
in retirement. I'm in Britain now. Prior to that I lived in Pittsburg
PA.,
no shortage of money there. Can't say I ever needed my degrees though.
I found that knowledge, ability, dedication and good references were
more
valuable assets than vellum. A person is worth what they do, not what
they
parrot. What are you making, anyway?
