I grew up in pg county md , and spent alot of time in and around baltimore , the eastern shore and so fourth, you said the job would be around baltimore . Ill put it to ya like this the crime rate is out of control , the racial problems , cost of living and unless you drive 1 to 2 hours from baltimore you aint gonna get no decent place to live and its gonna be sky high not counting the traffic jams you will get in take my opinion and go to Iowa Im not knocking what maryland has to offer sportsman wise but I lived there and still have family there if I was young and getting started , and sometime down the road gonna meet the right wife and have a family it wouldnt be maryland for no amount of money. Head to the country like i did get a peice of mind and leave the bull crap in the city I live in good ol WVA now hillbilly capitol of the world
