I'm sure that's what everyone is thinking.

Your wife could make bank as a K-12 administrator if she gets her license, and many districts are always looking. Higher Ed is pretty hard to break into; schools really like to hire people who have been following a straight line in higher education. (We’ve had to leave the five college area because of lack of jobs, and we’re not teachers, we’re support staff).

Cool, talk about it on another sub.

I recently added a fifth bedroom to my septic and my town's regulations have changed in the 10 years since we put it in, so we are able to do it with no issue. It was something like 250 gallons per bedroom, so we had 1000, but now it's 200 per bedroom and 1000 is enough for 5 (this is just an example). Your town's health department can tell you, and they may have it online if you don't want to alert them. Hopefully you have information about the size of your system.

Building code wise, you will need an egress window in a basement bedroom.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

This time its different, they said every single time.

Idk much about the public sector but I’m sure you and your wife can find jobs that pay around 200k here with those quals.

Lots of public school and social services agencies jobs up here, but agree with the other posters that it’s best to have jobs in hand before moving. The spring is a good time for school jobs, particularly late spring, as the inevitable shuffle begins between systems and positions and budgets finalized. Consider a job at the state, they are always looking for talented administrators and someone with a background in state government is a big plus. Plus most state agencies in MA offer hybrid work schedules.

The Ukraine War is absolutely different. If you want to debate it though, go to a political themed or foreign affairs themed sub, not a sub for Massachusetts.

Sir, this is a sub about Massachusetts.

Fuck Russia and fuck you.

All those posts would be removed because they're off-topic? Just guessing here.

Thank you, everyone, for your input. Sounds like we can make this happen after all.

So my share of the family income is 75k. Is that unreasonable for a public sector salary in Massachusetts? Florida is one of the lowest paying states for public employment so I figured I would make more up there.

And my wife is wanting to break into secondary education if that makes a difference. She isn't looking to be a 4th grade teacher (not that there's anything wrong with that). But she isn't opposed to adjunct work while finding a job in administration. She's a principal now but she's also an adjunct professor who teaches two classes a year in local university's school leadership track. She just really enjoys adults and wants to shift focus.

We wouldn't be moving up without jobs identified. We have some money saved up but it's definitely not "move out of state and hope to find ourselves" money. Schools are starting to hire for their fall semesters which is why we're trying to identify a plan now. Realistically the earliest we could move is July or August.

Thanks! We're pretty close to Ft Lauderdale and will want to come back and see family and friends down here so that's a big plus.

It’s impossible for me to think of Wachusett without singing that in my head.

Good for you. It’s awesome that you’re considering doing this. I wish more people would.

I'm going to have to next year. I need to just say fuck it and go through with it at least one time, and see if I still love it as much as I use to.

Loved Wawa. Such a great mountain to learn to snowboard on. Tons of memories in the early 90s.

Unfortunately the lift ticket costs aren’t justifiable there anymore. Way too expensive for how small it is.

Honestly, one winter I took a sick day from work in December and went skiing there on an early bird pass. Mountain was nearly empty and trails we're good enough that I got 6 hours of skiing in. It was weird at first because I've never skied by myself but Im so happy I went. So next December do it!

This is years ago but I did a drivers ed class when I got out of the Marines. I didn't need much road practice but did the class work to get current with the traffic laws. On road test day (This was when the Registry Police ran them) I just drove around the neighborhood shooting the shit with the registry officer.

WAAAAAAAA WACHU WACHUSETT!!
