I was born and raised there. My son was born there. I got out at 18 years old, My son at 2 months. My life is tremendously better because of that decision. We are friends on social media, you can see my life. My son is in school to get his doctorate in Astrophysics. No way that happens if we would have stayed in Springfield.
Whatever it takes, do it for your son.

You must be speaking of another Springfield.
Funny, my cousin grew up there, Nixa actually, his dad was the VP at SMSU- Springfield (now MSU) It happens to be a very highly ranked education studies.
He's a grad of MSU. He is/was? the youngest CPA in MO history and now is a VP of sales for a medical auditing company. Boys making bank too. Oh and by the way: Both of my daughters graduated from MSU too...I guess they are all losers. Dammed If I would just known this earlier I could have saved myself at least a quarter million bucks. **** me, I just can't do anything right....
But my girls both have Masters degrees, and both teach school, one in KC Metro, the other in Republic. My youngest will soon be getting her Doctorate in Education. My son in law has a Doctorate in Education and a Doctorate of Music. Can you guess where he graduated from??? MSU Springfield, MO.
