Drove hundreds of miles through some very rural New England, USA today. Most areas were very nice with well kept homes and cute, small city centers (mostly only a couple of brick, commercial buildings).
What do people do for jobs out in the “middle of nowhere”? As an engineer who works closer to city areas where more jobs exist, I just can’t fathom what people are doing for jobs out there? How is everything paid for?
Edit: I should clarify there’s minimal farm land out in rural New England. So, not very many farmers at all.
Behavior therapy. Once I move I’ll be completely remote. New England is also weird because little towns get nestled into what you might assume are county roads.
I’m from Cleveland. I’ll take a week vacation and drive through NY, VT and NH every year or two. The drive is really amazing. It’s really awesome how you can just be cruising down a remote county road at 60 mph, going over hills and around bends then BOOM, you need to drop to 30 because there’s a few hundred yards of really old houses and maybe an old church or gas station or pharmacy… then one Dollar General… then back to miles of 60mph of scenic nothing.
Haha yeah. Meanwhile if you take that same trip in other places the roads slowly become dirt, then trails, then fields.
