Actually, "A Game of Thrones" is one of several books in a series of
novels. An adaptation of the series is in its second season on HBO,
which is one of many premium channels available on cable TV, typically
for around $10 a month. Perhaps if you weren't wasting your pocket
change on your kiddie motorbike racing misadventure, you could come up
with the $10 a month, eh?

Sorry...but I know how to reach the U.S. Census site without googling it.

Here you go:

Now, if I had gone to school in South Carolina...

85.3 per cent of Americans were high school grads
27.9 per cent were college grads
10.3 per cent had advanced college degrees

South Carolina's percentages for the same categories:

83.6
24.3
8.4

Maryland's percentages for the same categories:

88.2
35.7
16.0

Maryland's percentage of its citizens with post graduate degrees is
among the highest in the nation. South Carolina's is…below average.

Have nice day…and read a book.


How does that break out by county?




I suppose I could find out on factfinder census if I were so motivated.
My guess is that in Maryland, the educational leaders would be
Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Howard Counties, and the suburban counties
around Baltimore. Our county wouldn't be near the top of the
list...we're still mostly rural-ish here and I don't believe we have any
four year colleges in the immediate area.

I'm sure you drag many of your county's stats down a lot. But you do help increase the "Assholes per Square Mile" stat.

The same issues you mention for your county is what pulls SC's stats down.... most of our counties are rural, and many in the "lowcountry" are very poor. The demographics just aren't in their favor.

Of course we have Columbia, Greenville/Spartanburg, and the Charleston area as our nice areas, all with universities, industry, all the modern amenities, etc. And the best part... nowhere near as many assholes as Maryland!

St Mary's?

I agree about the counties you mentioned but Anne Arundel used to be
pretty rural too. I suppose that is different now that anything within
50 miles of DC is considered reasonable commuting distance.
I doubt any of this applies to the Eastern Shore.



St. Mary's is still pretty much as it was, aside from some shopping
areas. Anne Arundel has gone upscale in the last decade, with
significant high end residential, medical, commercial and shopping
development.
