Big Sky, small minds

I grew up in GF leaving when I was 20. Whenever I return to visit family, I am reminded of just how backwards and small minded Montana in general truly remains. If you are thinking of moving there to get away from the pace of "big city life", great. Make sure you bring ALL of the cash you need to live there for x number of years because it will be difficult to find anything paying over $30k/year. The college grads from the MT schools have to either study agriculture or vet sciences, leave the state to find a real job, or become the next assistant manager at McDonalds.
It looks great from the outside but expect to move away after your second winter (believing that your first one there was just a fluke) and your money reserves have started to dry up.
Been there, done that, never moving back there!
