Is there any difference between a university and a college?

I never knew the answer to this question. However, if there is a difference, I think a university would just mean having a bigger population and a college would be smaller? In other words, a university will obviously have more students and a college will have less. This is just something that...

I live in Bayville, New Jersey. I heard that jobs down here will pay less money than jobs further north near the Hoboken, Jersey City, NYC areas. Is this fairly true?

It really makes me wonder how this can be. I mean, its got to be common sense because further north means more people and more business. Personally, I would not want to change locations for work just for better income. People always tell me to go north because that is where the money is. I get...
