this.

word perfect isn't used much any more, just because they've all been forced kicking and screaming into the world where you have to exchange docs with others digitally instead of by fax

that and none of the clerks know word perfect any more, they all grew up using word for school

There's no job market (unless you wanna work at some jail they built in the 00's) at all.

Honestly the dealbreaker for me is that the closest airport is Rhinelander, so you still gotta rent a car and drive 2 hours, after you get off a 2 hour puddle jumper out of Minneapolis.

If it weren't for that I'd absolutely consider it for a summertime hangout. The UP is gorgeous in the summer. Nice small towns dotting the highway, thousands of these ice cold little cutie lakes. Love it. Just a terrible place to live. And that house is built like a brick shithouse.
