I didn't move there with that expectation. I lived there most my life. Just got bored after I experienced the rest of the world.

Honestly, I left Vermont because there is no decent work to be done aside from restaurants and grocery stores, and I couldn't find any housing, but I couldn't afford it if I did. A big fuck you to Hannafords for the 12.15 an hour and 24 hours a week. Now I live in AZ and work from home selling insurance, making about 26$ an hour. My other gripe is there's not a lot to do. Being from Rutland and losing our movie theater, it just feels like there's no youth culture aside from hiking. If I was lucky, I could go to Burlington, but shits expensive there.

Vermont is unaffordable to most who live and work there. I couldn't find any apartments in Rutland when I wanted to move out of my grandmothers and when I did it was a shared apt and it would be like 800$ a month. At the time the only work I could find was at Hannafords and it was like 11.25 am hour and 18 hours a week.
