Best to settle in neithers hometown. It’s a class reunion for one and totally sucks for the other, man or woman.

Do you like "tavern" sandwiches?

Yes, Its NW Ia to a T.

I also wonder about the true sustainability of finding a remote job now. How do I know how long a career will remain remote for? Do I really want to attach myself to my residence all day? My degree is in criminal justice so that adds another wrinkle of “not many options available” especially in a small town unless I wanna settle for being a cop, that I would suspect would be fairly tough to get in to. How many additional cops does a small town want/need?

Depends upon how lucrative their speed trap is. I swear EVERY small town has a clandestine speed trap locals know about but they nail a good number of through travelers with.

I moved from Des Moines to small town NE IA and love it. It’s not for everyone, but I wouldn’t just assume you won’t like it.

LeMars? No thanks. I'll stay on LeEarth.

This is so stupid. I should not have laughed at it.









but I Definitely did.

I would choose NE IA over any "corner" of the State.

If I were going to live in town in that part of the world it would be Dakota Dunes or Sioux Falls. Both nice enough places and as a bonus no state income tax.

Hey folks, girlfriend lives in Le Mars, I live in Omaha, eventually one of us is gonna have to move to the other. She’s just finishing college in December, I graduated in May, nothing is really keeping us in either place but I’m looking in to moving to Le Mars just in case. Anyone here live there ever or currently? One of my bigger concerns is moving to a small town and knowing no one other than my girlfriends family and friends. Also, how hard is it going to be for me to pursue a white collar career in a small town? I feel like I have a lot of assumptions about living in a smaller area that are very skewed by living my entire life in Omaha.

Are you going to need access to a decent airport? Omaha > LeMars.

Blue Bunny chocolate milk growing up was BY FAR the best chocolate milk product available and it's a travesty that it is gone.

That's all I have to add.

Most of the kids in my kids’ classes and friends’ kids spend most of their senior year attending community college classes. Do the larger towns send the students to ISU or Iowa since it’s better?

The larger towns kids receive the community college credit in house at the high school instead of a regional academy/collaboration of school

So did my daughter….. Iguess she had one class on line so 6 out of 7 were at her school. Most of the on site ones are the mechanics and body shop stuff.

I’m truly impressed that the larger schools have certified mechanics teaching at their schools. Didn’t think they would have room to pull semis and tractors into the high school.

What opportunities are at a smaller school that isn't at a bigger school?

Late to the thread so somebody probably answered it. Not so much more opportunities, but the opportunity to go out for anything that you want to try. Smaller schools always need bodies for every sport, speech, music, etc... You might not be a star but you get to participate at a higher rate in you are marginally talented.

Not when your folks have a lake house.

Not so humble brag? If so CONGRATS!!

Your just jealous that you didn't think of it.
I know I wish I would have.

The amount of civility in this thread is pretty surprising, but a nice change of pace.
