[quote=Anonymous]It's really about finding someone a decent job and being able to move on it and the other spouse finding "whatever is around." This is what DH and I did. After about 3 years I landed something outside of Akron, Ohio which sounded bleak but we have found really nice wonderful communities here with good schools/decent diversity/intellectual communities/all around nice people. We live in-between Akron and Cleveland and my boys go to an all boys jesuit highschol and my daughter is doing well in her public option (although she has a lot of private options too). The downside is my DH took an 'ok" job and its not fulfilling. He misses his old job immensely but he doesn't miss DC. If he missed both it would be tough so I think both spouses have to be ok with moving. Nice thing is we have a VERY nice house for about 60 percent of what we spent in Arlington. I think sometimes in DC we are fed this notion that it's one of the ONLY areas that have large groups of smart and interesting people and opportunities and I just don't think thats the case. [/quote]
