I understand that. Sounds like you have to move then. If opportunity is not available in your town, you have to go to where it is.

Exactly why I left my hometown and never ever returned. There is no economic opportunity there. Most everyone who stayed there works for their parents business or took it over. There were no good jobs there and the residents actively vote against any/all economic development because they like living in a economically stagnate place and being dependent on state/fed money for basic services like water, sewer, and schools.
