I mean, if you can get into Hanover, NH that'd be dope. Woodstock has a similar vibe, too. I'm actually originally from that area (sort of), on the NH side. People I've known have loved working in Hanover, but I think it's a pretty competitive place to get work.

I'm sure Lebanon is also a fine spot, though they'll have their issues. On the Vermont side, I'm not overly familiar with districts that direction. I know primarily the Central/Southern Vermont side of things (Rutland and South of there).

If you do have any other questions about whatever else during the move, feel free to reach out and I'll help if I can.

Ha, sorry I missed that. I just hear it said so often in complete seriousness on this subreddit that it boggles my mind.

ETA: Lack of population is a huge draw for me too. I’m going to be pretty sore if we ever get to the point that the population is high enough that the ensuing light pollution blots out the Milky Way. Newport/Derby dims it enough already.

Not OP but I'm in a similar boat though wife is a nurse. Looking at Upper Valley area. Seems doable because we have equity in our current home to capitalize on. I taught yearbook for 6 years and loved it. I coach too. What districts do you recommend I explore/avoid?

Vermont is a third world country disguised as a state. Like any third world country if u have some money it’s absolutely great . If your just a commoner it’ll bleed u poor. Plus Every time I go to or thru VT I get a traffic ticket . Troopers sheriffs town cops are earning their salaries that’s for sure. If your a jerk u obviously deserve to be ticketed. But there something else. Lived there for many years

Pidgin French for "WITH ME!" Around here, we didn't grow up watching Spanish language children's TV, it was French. CBC to the north. I made the mistake of taking both French and Spanish in school, and now I mix both of them, and feel like a moron.

> Not sure why medical facilities fight raises for staff nurses so hard, but then turn around and pay travelers $4000-$5000 a week like it is nothing.

Hearsay and based on sources I don't have links for am, but if you increase base staff pay, that comes out of shareholder dividends. If you're having to "emergency allocate" budget for travelers, your hospital is eligible for compensation from DC.

I don't know how accurate it is, but it's the kind of fucked-the-fuck up that makes sense in the last, oh, forty years or so.

Nor'easter

>A nor'easter (also northeaster; see below), or an East Coast low is a synoptic-scale extratropical cyclone in the western North Atlantic Ocean. The name derives from the direction of the winds that blow from the northeast. The original use of the term in North America is associated with storms that impact the upper north Atlantic coast of the United States and the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. Typically, such storms originate as a low-pressure area that forms within 100 miles (160 km) of the shore between North Carolina and Massachusetts.

Reply to self-defense effectively being banned in Vermont. by Northwoods01

Yet police can now use lethal force through robots and the amount of money being spent on domestic military (police should be viewed as nothing but this) continues to skyrocket. Example: https://stopcop.city/

From a high level, it seems we're in decline and authoritarianism must rise to meet growing unrest. More and more workers are losing their jobs to automation, climate change is impacting food production and exacerbating the refugee crisis, while establishment politicians perturb the global economy and threaten nuclear holocaust in their effort maintain western hegemony.

Revolution must happen soon or it will be too late.

I teach in Texas with a BA. Wife and I made the decision to move to Vermont back in 2016 so we could buy a homestead and live a more peaceful quiet life and raise kids. We waited until she got her RN....now I live in the burbs here and made $85K last year. She made $50K. We still want to move to Vt and I'm interviewing but it means I'll earn $30K less a year. Granted, $10K of that is a coaches stipend and $10K is a summer club coaching gig. Even without that I'll make $10K less on my salary.

Engineers down here easily are at $100K/year
