Its hard to say, I know quite a few people including myself who did not stray too far, though I did spend about 15 years working and dealing with NYC/NJ as a place to live, returning home on weekends. If I had stayed the whole time, I don't think I'd have built as decent of a career as I did. Sometimes the money was good, or was beyond that, but there was also a stress level and responsibility, workload that was not easy or rewarding. I would agree that moving to a better economic area, carefully making career/education choices does pay off, but at a sacrifice. I took a hiatus from it, to enjoy home, our land, working on 2 farms sometimes, with ultra low wages that don't amount to as someone once said, " a warm bucket of spit" LOL I laugh, hey at least I get up and go to work somewhere, but have been trying to get back to my career, locally if possible, money is the driving factor even though I am the only one, with 2 elderly parental units to look after or help, one needs some monitoring or it better said, its good to be around, It would be hard to leave em be, and its a good thing to be there, as they were for you at one time.
Just last week, money was tight, need to get some groceries, had to stave that off 1 week or so, skipping meals, hungry saying to myself, what in heck are you doing, low wage jobs LOL ... so I head for the freezer, get a couple of Venison tenderloins, dug some taters up in the garden, onions too, and prepared a meal on the grill, went downstairs to the man-cave, added an Anchor Brewing company Bock beer, and had a meal that was better than any restaurant, be it simple as it may, (tasty though) and all of it came from my place 'cept that beer, I felt like a king. Can't afford restaurants, but I can afford it home, including a quality beer whatever it may be. Sometimes those little things are good, so hunting, doing a garden, and other things that don't cost much, really help out the tired spirit. Hard to say why, but home is here and its nice to be around, to enjoy what we do have, and look ahead for better opportunties. Its tough when you can't move and change career, but you have time, I'd keep alert about other things thay may be possible and keep yourself busy, spirits up, it may not be as you want or the best, but your doing fine, somehow try to build off it, think, explore ideas, it helps a lot to focus on positive things.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
