Is Manassas, VA a good area to relocate to? Like Is it diverse? Ive lived in MD my whole life & the people here aren't FRIENDLY AT ALL. I have faced so much discrimination from African American people (I'm Native American, Black, & White btw). The people are rude, stuck up, & ghetto where Im from & only help u if you're a part of their clique. I havent had much success w/finding a decent job since I graduated from college. Its been a nightmare. Plus, I keep thinking my husband's in VA.Thoughts?

I don’t think of diversity when I think of Manassas… try closer to the beltway if you’re targeting Northern VA.

@Attorney-ive been searching for jobs in those areas but don't see anything so far. I will keep looking. Like I said--I applied for some jobs in Manassas too.

The further out you go from the DC-Metro area, the less diverse it's going to be. Manassas is not as diverse as it where you currently are. Rude, racist and stuck-up people are everywhere, maybe you just need better friends. I don't know about husband though, but if you ever move somewhere, make sure you get the job first before moving.

@Accenture-did you read my comments? They explain why I want to leave the area and some of the experiences I've been having. I've been getting rejected left and right for state, county, and federal jobs and the people are so rude here--I'm sick of it. They're nasty, arrogant and disrespectful. Nothing good has come out of living in this area ever since I graduated from college 7 years ago. I'm ready for a fresh start.

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it.

Hey Dallas folks!

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
