Free from ties to kids or a mortgage, young adults can settle virtually anywhere they choose. So which place is best for you when the world is your oyster?
Here are 10 cities in the U.S. that offer exceptional opportunities for those starting out in life. We began our search using the criteria we used to select our overall list of Best Cities for the Next Decade: healthy economies fueling new job growth. We fine-tuned our search using other youth-friendly factors such as large percentages of people under 35, cost of living and rental costs, culture, nightlife, and the time you're likely to spend in traffic. Take a look - and tell us what you think.
These lists are usually subjectivity masquerading as objectivity. They come up with a list of "metrics" but there is no way to actually take real measurements, so the data is based on the sensibilities of the people crafting the study. Even the set of metrics is suspect. They place a lot of emphasis on career opportunity, but who is to say that's the most important factor?
I take issue with the cons of KC being mediocre nightlife and limited cultural offerings.... those sound like stereotypes or pulled out of someones a$$... KC nightlife is pretty damn fun with a lot of options, its not LA, Chicago, or NYC... but neither is anythign else on the list (well besides NYC lol)

It was noted that DC has vibrant nightlife on the report. I was a little surprised at that since most people don't think of that when they think of DC. Honestly though, other than NYC and LA, I haven't been to a city that compares in that.
