Medical can't be in too high of demand, everywhere is paying way fucking less than anywhere around where I currently am (similar cost of living when not looking around Portland). I want to move back home to Maine but I would lose so much money doing it. Not to mention losing out on opportunities for growth and other training available in bigger areas.

The reviews for health systems by employees are also terrible. So paycut + shittier work environment doesn't seem like a leap I want to take. Hell my mom moved back to Maine to be closer to family, but the hospital she worked at was so backasswards she moved back south after like 6 months.
