| Not to doubt you or give advice where it isn't welcome, but how good a website/graphic designer are you? I don't know about the design half, but I know we're hiring pure developers still like candy- and telecommuting is not out of the question at all.
$50k in Utah might be enough to get you by comfortably- maybe even qualify as a "good job". $50k for a good web dev in Chicago is cheap as sin. Have you looked into that option yet? |
