Comment Good Work? (Score 1) 178
It depends what you consider 'good work'... If you want a job paying 100K+, good luck.
OTOH, if you want to get out of the rat race, you could easily put together a small consulting business and make a reasonable income, with the fringe benefit of making your own hours and living is the kind of place where you don't have to lock the door on your house... Ever.
For me, that tradeoff is worth much more than the difference in income. I live and work in a small Vermont town (population 3,000) with more programming/networking/consulting work than I can possibly handle.
