There's not enough housing for the people that already live here. Don't come here to work remotely, because we need people to contribute to the local businesses. Only physicians, nurses, teachers, and some specific types of engineers allowed at this point. Sorry. Come here and spend all your money on vacation, then go back to where you belong.

/s (kinda). This is what you're going to get over the next couple hours condensed into one paragraph.

So maybe a mechanical engineer as I could find open arms in your state? <3

Try Collins Aerospace or GE. We build shit that kills people here in the Green Mountains, too (our food exports of cheese, liquid sugar, and ice cream notwithstanding).

I understand the need which is why I added the part about contributing to the economy locally. I’m genuinely interesting settling down, not just vacationing and despite having a FT job, I have plenty of time to apply to another one, if needed.

Like I said, I'm kinda kidding about that stuff, and I'm sure you'd be happy as hell here (and we'd be happy to have you). This is really the Assholes of Vermont subreddit...the regular Vermont folks aren't on the internet all the time like us weirdos.

Lol. I missed the /s part. And your response here totally made my whole day. 😊

I am of half a mind that any empty nester that comes to Vermont has to bring at least one adult child with them who has been trained in a healthcare profession (RN, RRT, MD, NP, PA, PsyD, LCSW, whatever). We have an aging population, and we are careening toward an apocalyptic hellscape of an overburdened medical system within the next decade as the baby boomers leave the workforce and become huge users of the system. This is not unique to Vermont per se, but we do have one of the oldest populations and we will be impacted accordingly.

Your points makes sense. Unfortunately, my boys aren’t in healthcare or I’d encourage them to tag along for the reasons you mentioned.
