I live in a very depressed part of Pennsylvania otherwise known as the Coal Region.

I'm very fortunate to find something so close to home, as well. There is literally no IT market in the area. If I wanted something else, it would be a 30+ mile commute. With this job, I have the option of working for home within a year supporting sites with Linux/VMware in the northeast US. Even then, I won't be forced to get certs. It's all about experience.
