Go ahead and try, you're at an automatic 5% pay disadvantage even before the cost of driving up from MA.

First, I'm not going to tell you my personal info, and I agree that we need trade workers and trade schools are a great solution to this. I would not make such assumptions about people either, just because somebody has a white collar job doesn't mean they can't/won't do "manual labor". |
I agree, "
vast majority" is overstating things, plenty of tech workers are willing and able to
fix their own cars given the space and time to do so.

Dyn is gone.
STEM majors can do the math on living in NH while commuting down to MA for work, and unless you're getting something else out of living up here, the taxes make a good case for living in the same state where you work.
Personally, I moved to New Hampshire, then a bunch of us got together and moved our (tech) company local office up here a few years later.
