Well, I didn't ever have to buy a house, but I do have to work. It's not like new hires have any clout for baragaining their way out of signing a non-compete. It's pretty much "sign or don't work here". But I work in a field with a small number of competitors and I would not be able to stay in this line of work at all, unless I could afford to take a year off, which I very much cannot. I think my company's non-compete exists mostly to keep competitors from hiring us, not keeping "company trade secrets". It's not like we don't all know everything about our competitors. We have entire databases on our competitors and our clients always share info with all of us on the other guys.
