Holy crap you are an administrator's wet dream. If your willingness to work for peanuts didn't affect my own income potential as well I would just laugh in disdain and move on with my day but since it does, I hate you lol. If enough of my "colleagues" were just like you, happy to drive used Hondas and live in cramped condos while admins pocket the difference then that would condemn me to a similar fate and destroy everything I've worked for all these years. Disgusting. I'm just happy you do want to work in an area that is already suffering from low pay, versus taking that chump mentality to high salary areas and depressing them there, as well.
A bit harsh. I admire the poster's mindset. I see nothing disgusting about wanting a live a simpler life surrounded by the people you love and opportunities you desire. People all find happiness in different places and with different situations.
I do not understand why people are so entrenched in their beliefs about where to live. Much of the Midwest doesn't have as much nightlife as NYC, or the cuisine. So what? And NYC doesn't have the peace and solitude of the Mountain west. None of which have the fresh ocean air and warm climate of coastal CA. Which itself isn't as affordable as Iowa. But Iowa people, while very friendly, still aren't quite as friendly as Minnesotans. Who are themselves honorary Canadians. We could literally go on and on. There is no way to win. We can find a guy who thinks Siberia is the only place worth living, and another who says the Sahara is where it's at.
In the end, we all die. We get only so many years that we may as well do what we want, live where we want, with who we want. And respect the opinions of others who decide to live differently than us.
