Please help! My grandparents have a beautiful house in Jay New York and I love going up there during the winter and summer breaks. I going to start college later this fall and have been trying to come up with a major to study. My goal is to move to upstate new York after I complete college but I know how hard it is to get a good job there. I am considering being an accounting major and possibly becoming a CPA. Does any one know if there are jobs like that up there? I really like the secluded small town in the mountains feel you get near Lake Placid, but I have been told it is almost impossible to get a job there. I know medical is a big hit but that and teaching are the two things I just can not see myself doing but I can not see my self living anywhere but New York. I don't even know where to start looking
I would be okay with about a 45 minute commute to work, so would it be possible to find a nice town a bit of a ways away from a city like Rochester, Syracuse, Saratoga, Albany where I could find a good job? What kinds of jobs are out there? I want to still like in like a rolling hills/ mountain area because I love to hike and ski. Any ideas for a degree that will get me a job? Any one know any small towns close to the cities?
Thanks for any suggestions, experiences and observations!
