Alexandria native Niko Papademitriou, 27, became an investment banker with a Cleveland firm soon after he graduated from college. The money was steady enough for him to fly regularly to Manhattan to see his girlfriend and take her to upscale restaurants such as Bond Street and Cafe Gray.
“A large aspect of my life — three out of the first five conversations that we had — I told her, ‘You’re not going to see much of me in the next 15 years if we start dating, because I’m going to be making a lot of money.’ ” He thinks that worked in his favor, “not so much for the money, but for the drive. It’s one of those things in men that women find attractive.”
Since being laid off in November, he has moved back to Alexandria to live with his mother. He now takes the Chinatown bus — for as little as $5 each way — to visit his girlfriend. Round-trip airfare between Cleveland and New York City averages more than $200.
…wow…
