NC is a great place for geeks on a budget. Good pay, cheap housing (relatively speaking) and everything from skiing to surfing to mountain climbing. Did I mention it's cheap?
I bought the house I live in now 9 years ago for $50,200. It's brick, nice neighborhood on a 1/2 acre lot in town(a small town, but in town none the less). Property in the RTP area is quite a bit more...but I like living in the country...and paying lower taxes.
I think you're close, but not quite there. The real reason smart people tend to crumble under pressure is the "rules" typically do not allow for the desired outcome. The people setting the rules don't realize that they are preventing the desired result, and the "smart person" simply implodes; knowing that both the rules and the people in charge are preventing "them" from achieving stated goal, yet they are expected to pull it out of their ass somehow, yet make sure that no one knows you're doing so.
The really smart people ignore the rules that prevent the desired result and then admit they did it after the fact:)
