I hear that. An equivalent position to mine in other states would get me at least a 50% pay raise. If I went west coast my wife and I could double our salaries.

All that is to say that we moved here and paid too much for a house but both were able to obtain reach jobs for ourselves. The pay is the same as my last job, so I didnt take a hit and neither did the wife.

It's been... Wonderful moving here. I wish I could enjoy the outside more, but that'll come once the amazing folks at the white river junction VA get me fixed up.

The only negative here is the night driving and short days in the winter. The rest has been great. My kids loooove it here. I'm so glad I came back to New England, and specifically the upper valley in VT.
