I'm up to 22 months pushcarting, no real plans to change anytime soon (mostly because I couldn't get anything that sucks less while the economy has shit the bed.
And there is a uni in my town, but that was my last preference due to a) a fairly low reputation, b) no courses that were more directly applicable to my interests, and c) me explicitly wanting to interact with new, cool city people (and I'm sure you can work out what 'cool' is in this context
)
