Sorry, when I said higher standard of living, I meant higher cost of living. I daresay you could have a higher standard of living in the countryside, depending on how you view it.
Anyway I'm surprised the rural lawyer isn't more involved in the agribusiness. Because if so, you could argue that the rural lawyer could gain just as much commercial experience as a city lawyer. In which case, it would really make a strong case for a rural practice. That, plus a beachfront home..

You'd be nuts if you didn't. If I were in your position, I'd invest in a piece of undeveloped land with access to bore water. And then leave the property while you spend a few years in the city (with the usual property law precautions re squatters). Then when you've made your money, you'll be able to afford an architect who will build your dream home for you on the property.
