When you're young and strong & hungry (& lonely?), the Big Apple offers a lot of opportunities to meet those needs. After you've honed your skills (& maybe piled up some cash?) you can always throttle-back and head out into the country to enjoy your assets a bit. That seems to be how lots of folks plan & then do it. I can't imagine being any older than I already am and actually living there, trying to maintain that frenetic pace the place seems to run at. Very high-energy, which can be fun when you're a youngster. Definitely not for old dogs.

I've a great friend from Charleston who, for about ten years, made the longest commute I ever knew of. His wife practices medicine in Charleston, and he worked for an import company. He'd fly to NYC every Sunday evening, work five days in Manhattan, then fly home to Charleston each Friday evening.  SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan, here's a longer commute: a local couple moved to NYC after winning the Pulitzer for Journalism-editorial writing for their newspaper the defunct Georgia Gazette competing against the NY and LA Times in 1984. Marjorie became CEO of The Economist and then the parent Pearson Group and commuted to London weekly one way on the Concorde and back on a Jumbo on which she could work in first class. Gil

and then there was the young lady from manhattan who went to chicago for a job interview...as she was sitting in the hiring manager's office, near the top of the sears tower, she was looking out the window at lake michigan, when the manager asked, so how do you think you would like living in chicago? she replied: i guess i could get used to a small town...
keep it simple and keep it safe...
