Very much so, but it is hard to find professional work in truly rural places (less than 20,000 with no big job source like a university or a capital).
However, I think the sweet spot in the US are either small towns with a county population of about 300k population with a research university or the (even better) small to midsize cities like Austin, Portland (both), Milwaukee, Cedar Rapids, etc.
Just riffing, FWIW
- sliverstorm 12y agoOf course, you don't necessarily have to find "professional" work. I know a few small-time ranchers who raise sheep and alpaca on modest plots of land, for example.
