but the offer isn't just money, it's about 1 1/2 hours more with family by dropping the commute. Current company can't offer that, there really is no counter-offer (unless they offer some work-from-home arrangement)

yeah, and 96% of college professors believe they are above average teachers.
asking people to self-report is not terribly accurate. Completely meaningless preliminary impression. Go to the real world and test improved (or unimproved) performance on memory tasks, although even that would not be what we really care about, which would be fending off memory decline and descent into Alzheimer's and the like, not able to recognize family or care for one's self.
Folks,
I'm a doctor. If I sent a sheet of paper with so much as your name, date of birth, and the fact that you breathe on it via email, the fine would start at $50,000 for the first violation of the federal health information privacy law, HIPAA. $50K first violation. No joke. People get fired for this.
When I ask for medical records on a patient who moves to town and comes to me for care, I get a sheaf of paper records faxed onto paper. Dreadful. I page through every single one and then scan them into my electronic medical record for any future necessary reference. When patient moves again to another community, he'll ask for his records again for his new doctor. My office will turn his electronic digital info into -- you guessed it -- a fax to the new doctor. You might wonder, why not just transmit the electronic info from one system to another? That's not possible. There are about 150 different "EMR's" out there [electronic medical record systems] and NONE of them are compatible.
I hate faxes. They ruin documents. All the fine squiggles of EKG heart tracings or fetal monitor tracings are mangled by faxes.
I hate paper. I worked 2 years in high school as the blueprint boy in an architect's office printing what I guess would be architectural drawing "copies" onto pieces of paper 4 feet by 6 feet in size, and getting paper cuts of commensurate dimensions.
But faxes not disappearing any time soon. Were it only so. Please, someone, lead the charge.

I don't think that's true. 2nd graders, even kindergarteners are fascinated with people's jobs. Yes, they don't have enough abstract thinking to get the deep details of what each person does. But they do easily comprehend what a farmer does, what a baker does, and especially what some of the basic jobs like firefighter does.

Perhaps there is such a law in Massachusettes, but perhaps citizen will be protected by whistle-blower laws. That would be just.
