Maine has several call centers. I have no idea how the wages compare with Utah, but our housing and food costs are low compared with other states. Maine has a LOT of fresh water lakes and rivers. We have smaller mountains than Utah, but ours are green.

There are a few call centers here in Maine. There are guns going off, usually hunters. Lots of wild life. You don't need pet friendly trails or dog parks, because there are/is a whole lot of woods. It can be cheap or affordable here. It depends on your lifestyle. Not many jobs though. Get one before you come.
well hunters dont really bother me its the gang wanna bes that bother me and the woods are pet friendly the little bit we have left really isnt.. i believe i read the cost of living in maine is lower than illinois
... i am looking for some things like cost of living (currently researching)
Some areas of Maine do offer an extremely low cost-of-living.
To our experience Maine's taxes tend to be much lower than most places wehre we have lived before.

Me too
Maine has guns going off, but it is not crime. Here it is target practice, or hunting, or chasing predators away from livestock.

Maine has a lot of hilly regions. Very few true mountains though, and none of them are of any respectable altitude.
Some Mainers like to think they have mountains, they call folks from away 'flatlanders', even though many flatlanders come from mountainous regions. It is funny. I have never lived anywhere that was as flat as where we are now, here in Maine.
However most of Maine is densely forested. And we have lots of rivers and lakes

All things are relative.

We do have very clean air.

Maine has no mutant ninja bugs like Florida has.

There was a very wet eagle perched in a dead pine near Forest's place today. I think he looked disgusted. (The eagle, not Forest.)
I have seen eagles doing the oddest things this year.
This spring I saw an eagle on the ground eating as I was driving by, so I stopped and watched him for a while. He was eating a deer carcass. Later that day I giving Bonnie a lift and as we passed the spot the eagle was still there. So together we sat for a while watching this eagle ripping apart a deer carcass.
Then a month ago, I was doing 45 on Gilman Falls road when an eagle dive-bombed a carcass of roadkill right in front of me. He swooped down from behind me, he hit the carcass not 20 yards in front of my truck, and grabbed it [a dead skunk that was stuck to the pavement]. He got it up into the air just as my truck passed underneath him, part of the skunk dragged across the top of my truck cab.
He could have easily grabbed that skunk when no vehicle was in sight, but instead decided to pace a passing vehicle and grab it right in front the oncoming vehicle.
