i want to reapply to Sweet Grass, Montana in the recent announcement.. just so I can put on my resume that I worked in Sweet Grass, MT
the place looks very beautiful though
also, Pembina, ND... Jackman, Maine... where do the officers who work there live? In Canada? cause on the US side its in absolute middle of nowhere, with the nearest city hours away. Would be cool and adventurous (and cheap) to try it out there, although I'm not into hunting mooseLast edited by thaiboxing87; 01-20-2016, 10:15 PM.

People live in the small towns and hamlets surrounding the ports...for the most part. Some commute some distance. In the case of Pembina, Grand Forks (pop. 50K) is 75 miles south on I29.
A person is unlikely to live in Canada.
One, you'd need some sort of immigration status in Canada. Unless you're a dual citizen or married to a Canadian citizen you're likely not going to find Canada willing to grant some sort of residency status.
Two, the agency has a US residency requirement and they would be unlikely to waive US residency outside of some sort of very compelling reason to do so...especially for a new hire.

Yeah, in many ways you'd be looking at less expenses. It's also true that in many ways you'd be looking at more...like one-two hour commutes to the nearest large grocery store and major shopping and other events plus additional wear on vehicles.
You'd be looking at standard RUS pay plus there's a fair chance of seeing far less of an opportunity to work overtime and/or differential pay shifts...in other words, smaller paychecks and reduced retirement at careers end.

OK. I'll buy into the notion that if you squirrel yourself away in your residence and seldom come out, you might pull off a saving event.
Still, you'd be probably be looking at a earning potential of several thousand to maybe tens of thousands less in earnings each year.
Would you do any better than somebody who went to JFK or LAX, lived in the cheapest of housing and worked the full potential of overtime and differentials? I'm guessing not.
If there really was that much of a benefit to living and working in a place like Sweetgrass or Jackman I'd bet you'd see far more interest by people to live/work in those sorts of locations over more urban areas.
