Conflation of factors but original center of research talent was in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Wilmington Deleware areas.

J&J, Astrazeneca, Dupont, Rohm & Haas, Wyeth, Merck, BMS, and other companies all originated there and then in most cases remained. The branded and then the generics also located there.

Then there were and have been tax and other financial incentives.

I have a lot of student debt from law school.

I’ve read some other comments of people refinancing at a super low variable rate....isn’t this risky? Of course I am afraid of going variable and then the interest rates going up a lot. Am I missing something?
