[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We made the escape last year and have no regrets. I loved DC when I was younger and single but we both decided once kids come along it would be great to move back home. We live in a small town on outskirts of a large Midwestern city. DH got offers comparable to his DC salary and COL is so low I'm able to SAH for now. My job was one of those "only in DC" types but I'm looking forward to doing something completely different once I'm ready to get back to work.

It works for us because we are homebodies for the most part but can get into the city on a weekend if we want, but something to think about if you love going out all the time. There is a trade off.

Op, if I were you I'd pick a couple places, vacation there a couple times and start sending resumes. You may be surprised at salaries like we were. [b]It's just not true that there are no good jobs in "fly over country[/b]".[/quote]

Well I live outside Detroit, and are there good jobs, yes, but very few unless you have something to do with making a car. Is there someone who works in an ad agency or investment banking and makes good money?  Not predominant unless you are in a high COL area.  And I don't see it as anything different in Cleveland or St. Louis.[/quote]
