[quote=Anonymous]Op, he is in a tenure track job now? What's the usual timeline? Is he doing what he needs to to get tenure? Is he ope to applying for TT jobs in a place you want to live? Making the jump from academe to industry is a big one, since usually there is no return. He should do some informational interviews (or real ones) with folks in industry in his field. He may realize it's as stimulating as academe but better in other ways (or not). If it's realistic to apply for tenure in 2 years, let him (eg he is in year 3 now or whatever is standard). If 5 years, see if you can compromise on 2 years, then he applied elsewhere or jumps to industry unless there a huge advantage to his current employer. Regardless, you need to also figure out parenting issues..is he going to use getting tenure as an excuse to leave childcare to you? Don't let him. You make enough for a good nanny, and split the rest. [/quote]
