Well, just a thought for those of you who spend hours everyday in the car to and from work. My commute entails 20 miles, which takes me approximately 25 minutes (on a good weather day). My husbands commute is exactly 0 - he works from home as a software development designer for a major US company.
Pros - I don't spend hours in my car getting to my job. I get to see all sorts of wildlife to and from work (which restores my priorities and goals for my life) I drive through clean, fresh air - except after cutting the hay (at which point it can smell pretty nasty!) I have enough time to gear up or decompress as the need arises.
Cons - there is no mass transportation, so either you live in one of the bigger towns near your work so you can walk or you drive. You get used to driving at 60 - 65 and road rage occurs when you come upon someone doing 35 mph. Sitting in traffic for 3-5 minutes for construction or backups begin to annoy you. The traffic jam you might come upon is usually an extra-wide tractor taking up the entire road with no opportunity to pass.
So there you have it. If you can work from home, living in the North Country is amazing. Even if you can't work from home, you can hope to find a job in the area! We have 2 colleges and 2 universities all within 10 miles of each other. The colleges keep the towns they are located in fresh with cultural events, new ideas and sometimes even new residents!
What was your drive to work like this morning????
Have a great day.
