If you live in the North Country, there are few offices and factories, so if you’re going to earn a living you need to take advantage of the opportunities that are there. These usually include low- to modest-paying jobs in the logging and recreation businesses, and related support and services. Very few of those jobs support a lavish lifestyle.
What you can do is take advantage of the bounty of nature that surrounds you. Putting a deer or moose in the freezer can make a huge difference in the well-being of many families, as does catching a meal every now and then via fishing or helping to make ends meet by selling pelts.
