I'm a school bus driver (in PA) and one of my colleagues is leaving to live and work in rural MD. The coolest thing about the gig there is that you get to take your school bus home at the end of your run, which generally picks up and drops off kids from the area you live in. In fact you have to take your bus home since they don't have parking spaces for them at the schools.

The uncool part is that the pay is shit with no benefits, but at least that keeps you in line with all the other residents.

To be fair free transportation isn't a bad benefit.

I'll stick with my health insurance, thanks.

Maryland is also crazy beautiful. Had to take a detour on the way to DC because traffic. Ended up on local, winding roads and drove past beautiful creeks with ancient oaks and old houses. It's the only time I've thought, "damn this is a really awesome suburb". And going out on the Chesapeake was a great birthday, it lives up to the hype.
