Arkansas’ academic standing has suffered due to its low cost of living and abundance of job opportunities.

Arkansas has a lot to offer its residents. Because of the number of parks, rivers, mountains, hot springs, and other natural resources, the southern state is a good place to live if you enjoy nature. It’s also a good spot to live if you want to keep your living expenses to a minimum. It is traditionally regarded as one of the most affordable areas of the United States, ranking anywhere from 10% to 15% lower than the national average. What is the issue?

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.
