Reply to comment by vtmosaic in moving to VT, asking for advice on locations. I have a family of 4 with a 13 year old and 17 year old. by Putrid-Might-8839

Is housing availability tough in some areas? I plan on getting a VA loan shortly after moving but will need housing or a full time RV spot for 5 months or so. We don't have a need for major medical. I would def like availability of entertainment for the wife and kids, but community events are loved by us. I have tons of trade knowledge. As far as ag goes, all I really know is how to do crop health inspection with drones. I'm not in health care, but my oldest daughter has been considering going to school for nursing. Is there availability to easily enjoy nature pretty much anywhere in your beautiful state? Enjoying and being involved in nature is really big for us.

Do you have trade knowledge or are you licensed in a trade? The difference is $20-25+ for trade knowledge or $35-50+ as a licensed plumber or electrician or a certified welder.

Sadly, you won’t be able to live in Vermont with just trade knowledge as there are many “trade knowledge” workers just scrapping along who dilute the market with cash labor.

A bit more info on your skills would be helpful for advice.
