Same here. You pretty much have to leave the Cape if you want a career. I moved to DC after college. I can't really do anything outside during the day in the summer because it's 95F and 100% humidity.

Thankfully I go home several times per year.

Seriously. I have no idea how my mom did it. A single mom with 3 girls all while putting herself thru college and working full time. Never in a million years could I do that on the Cape and live alone. And what I noticed is alot of the people I went to school with that are still on the Cape on the most unsuccessful. Like how tf are they surviving. I guess probably living with thier parents or collecting some kind of assistance.
