I can testify to the relocation potential because I recently escaped the Silicon Valley rat race to come up here to God's country. Nevertheless, I still fantasize about rendering remote DBA support via a laptop with multi-band satellite connectivity from a log cabin while snowed in at 10,000 feet. (Or while lounging in a hammock on some Carribean Ilse.) While I support servers 1000's of miles away, employers like to see you and hear you tapping on the keyboard. Working and living ANYWHERE is not so much a technical problem as it is an organizational, human relations challenge. Sigh...

Now, perhaps it takes a bit more work, but there seems to be enough demand around for the time being..... Perhaps number 10 should be rather: 10.

So I don't have to mow my own lawn 2. So I don't have to change my own oil. 3. So I don't have to move my own furniture. 4. So I can have 5 kids and a wife. 5. So I can afford two NICE cars (well, mostly nice until the kids get to them). 6. So I can eat out every day if I choose. 7. One word, big screen TV (ok, three words). 8. Because it's cool. 9. Because I like getting paged at 3 in the morning to save someone's butt and have them owe me BIG. 10. So I can live where I choose.
