There are many of chances for people who want to learn how to make the most of West Virginia’s rich natural resources. While West Virginia is one of the most cheap states in the country, it is also one of the least educated. This is due to the fact that only over 8% of people in the state have advanced degrees, which don’t appear to be useful when it comes to the country roads that many people fantasize of.

With over 35 higher education institutions to select from, there is room for thousands of students to advance their studies here. Furthermore, they can do so for less than $10,000 per year, which is quite inexpensive when compared to some of the most educated states in the US. However, that is not enough to entice everyone.
