I also wondered if the OP considered starting their own business. For example, building web sites for customers. With Zoom meeting so common, they could consult with clients from home, even show them prototypes of web site designs.

I work for a mid-size STEM company with about 75 employees. Hiring and employee retention is a very significant cost to do business. We are in a city with easy access to a highly educated workforce as well as an ample supply of college graduates in computer science for a reason. Low taxes don't even come into the calculation. If Wilmington wants to grow STEM, it's going to need to cultivate that highly educated STEM workforce.
