I trust your good judgment and self knowledge to get you where you need to go. I am always impressed by your practicality and steadiness.
I am infatuated with the UA at Fairbanks, though. The cold is miserable but their programs are pretty wonderful. One of my sons did a consultancy up there at the military base for a long couple of winters... my granddaughter will start school there next year, I think. She has a full scholarship so will stay in AK, because of that. {I had hoped she would venture south {to WI} and closer to me.}
You ARE young, but time flies away. I suppose the best plan is to keep self sufficient while living in a place that keeps you charged up and content. You might need to stay near the ocean to be happy. I am very in favor of designing your life and not just letting it 'happen'.
I like to look at what you write, because I think you do that, already!!
