Aside from a certain politician being from there. I might be moving to Vermont for a job soon. I hear kind of good things about it?
-It’s a bit more left than the vast majority of states
-very pretty outdoors
-very pretty towns
Cons-
-white as fuck and I’m a distinctly not white brown male (not saying this is a huge con, these type of areas can paradoxically be the least racist places, or better said have the most tolerable type of racism)
-expensive with low wages. Brutal combo wtf
-big one for me: hardly any people. I’m single, in my 30s, I need to get to fucking and developing my social life. I can’t spend my time surrounded by fucking bears dude. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it, but if I know what’s good for me, I need to be surrounded by people in my prime years.
Honestly, I’m hesitantly excited; I’ve spent a lot of time in Texas, Michigan, Maryland. The brief time I spent in a New England college town as a visitor was nice; took an amtrak across this region and it was breathtakingly beautiful, everything from the architecture to the natural beauty.
Just need some advice and opinions about living in Vermont.
It's a scene up there. Imo unless you're super outdoorsy or a back to the lander there might be such a thing as too slow. Burlington is probably alright, even Montpelier feels really small. Biggest complaint I hear from folks there is it's hard to get good jobs.
Well, I'll be going there for a job so that won't be a huge concern. Concerned about the too slow part since I won't be too close to Burlington.
