My Opinion is...:I have a mixed opinion about living in Pittsburgh. I describe myself as a young black professional male who still is optimistic about the racial climate and future job opportunites who come from similiar socio-econmoic backgrounds as I do. I think my optimism is still present because I attended college and graduate school out of state at a southern HBCU. However, I feel that I am grossly underpaid and if I'm not making respectable money within the next 12-18 months, my optimism will be a part of my distant past!
