I admit that it's tempting... but I would need a green card in order to take that job. I'll bet the cost of living in Binghamton is low.

The cost of living in Binghamton is fairly low which is nice. It's also centrally located to a lot of different things. We're only approx. 3 hrs away from NYC and approx. 3hrs away from Philadelphia. Plus we're right near the Finger Lake Wine Region and several scenic State Parks.

If you're interested in the position forward me your resume. I would be happy to look into whether they would provide sponsorship for this position.
