Here's a fun little anecdote: when we lived in greater Boston/ North shore, my mom was lean and fit. When we moved to NH and nowhere was walking distance, she put on weight and became less fit.

I don't wanna

Honestly MA is better to its citizens but more expensive to live. NH isn't bad but we def have white supremacists, poorer education and no to lil support for the citizens. However, outdoor fun is pretty epic.

But corn tastes good!

Got it. Thank you!

AMR up here is better than it is nationally but at present seems like a bit of a circus, scheduling is mostly 12s but with plenty of variability, pay is not bad. Frisbie I don’t know about their pay or hours but it’s got a decent reputation among the people I know who work/worked there, it’s one of the only hospital-based systems around. You could probably also get on board at many fire departments and have them pay for your fire certs.

Northern New England is similar in some ways and very different in other ways than southern New England. We all love dunkins and agree Tom Brady was the second coming of Christ. Once you get north of Massachusetts though, it's also very different. VT, NH, and Maine are all constitutional carry states. As long as you aren't a convicted felon, habitual substance abuser, domestic abuser, mentally defective, you don't need any special paperwork to lawfully carry a firearm in Northern nw England, NH included. NH has no knife laws, no bans on NFA items. I own two suppressed SBRs myself. Theres no bans on standard capacity magazines like 30 rounders for ARs or 17 rounders for pistols. Firearm ownership here is pretty prolific. I know several docs, nurses, paras, and EMTs who carry. State law preempts any local ordinance or municipal regulations regarding firearms ownership or carrying. State law also prohibits any state, municipal, town, or country official or law enforcement officer from reporting or enforcing federal firearms laws so even an AWB is enacted on federal level, as long as no ATF agents see it, you are good.

Im willing to forgive your ignorance, but please don't ever compare us to NY again. Thems fighting words here.

Other things of note:

Hiking is great. Look up the "52 with a view" and 48 over 4,000.

Medium cost of living. Especially as you get more rural. You can afford a house in commuting distance anywhere in the state. It's not like eastern MA where 3 bdrms start at 800k. My wife and I paid 349k for 3 bed 2.5 bath on 2.5 acres.

Never compare TX to NH. For one, Texas sucks, NH does not

Stay where you are we have plenty of transplants

I've definitely heard this. NH is north Texas.

“I have never personally heard anyone say this, therefore it is not true” what a silly sentiment

Florida of New England lol

Texans don’t move to MA, NH is a good fit for you.

Absolutely, packed snow and there might be some areas of ice where there's a lot of sun exposure or running water over the trail

No one says this

Yeah I got the article through THAT website from my mother in Florida and yet heard nothing locally

Careful there lumping NY in with New England. Any of the better paying jobs will likely be in the southern part of the state. You have to tell more about your interests and what kinds of towns you want to live in.

I'm not in emergency services, so can't speak towards scheduling. Look north as well. Lakes region, Plymouth area, Littleton area, etc. I would assume the pay would be less than southern NH, but who knows.

Everybody is hiring paramedics. Heck, the town of Franconia had to shut their life squad down due to shortages.

NH is the Texas of New England they say, except way better than Texas 💪🏻

EDIT: and of course better than MA

We can expect snow on the trails regardless, right? Like there's snowpack all winter, just a matter of how fluffy it is based on how recently there's been more accumulation?

Good bot

"Brick did you kill a guy?"

I did home health for my community health rotation and then my med surg 2 clinical was with a group of us for 1/2 the semester and then a preceptorship for the 2nd half, which was great because I was able to set a goal (carry a full assignment) and I was 1:1 with an experienced RN. A lot of the people in my program preferred to travel up to Dartmouth for their clinicals but I found I had better experiences at the smaller community hospitals.

Edit to say that my med surg one was on a skilled unit in a nursing home.

Hahahah
