You didn't move to someplace with more reasonable housing costs. People used to move to opportunity - not so much anymore. Go West young man (or in this case too many people went West to your town so it may be time to go back East)
Going to college doesn't guarantee a good job. My wife went to college, graduated with a 4 year bachelor of science degree, and found her degree got her an extra $1 per hour at the same job she had before college. She worked for 2 years and then decided to go back to school again. This time she looked at what jobs were growing and paid well and then picked what looked to be the best fit for her. Not a dream job - but a well paying job.
