re: Top 35 Cities for Young Adults - BR at #33. New Orleans? Not so much.

I would consider moving back to Baton Rouge or Lafayette if there were more lucrative jobs in my field.

New Orleans isn't appealing to me. Maybe 10 years ago, but not now.

This college town has lots of singles under the age of 35, and the energy industry supplies lots of jobs to recent grads. Gas is very cheap, and a cab costs less here than in any other city on the index.

I guess I can buy Baton Rouge's ranking if that is the criteria. It is fairly cheap to live there, the place is stocked like a trout pond because of the higher ed, and there are good jobs there if you are in the right field.
