[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to the quick google search, there are loads of the jobs all over the place and in all kinds of hospitals- not just specialized children's hospitals.

All of those jobs are in specialized children's hospitals. [/quote]

Why does it have to be in a specialized children't hospital? [/quote]

Almost every children's hospital has a childlife program but an urban area is always going to be my best bet. They have more positions available. So here in DC we have 30 child life specialists at my work but in Cincinnati it would be a lot less. I'm not completely opposed to moving somewhere else. It just seems almost impossible for us both to find jobs unless we move to more of an urban area. Athens, GA or Oxford , Ohio would be too far of a commute IF I could find in the nearest city .

But that's just the point. Looking at that quick list there are many more jobs currently available than you thought. The point being, you can move and still find a great job. You have flexibility and I'm sure if you two TALK about it there's a compromise to be made. I think the other part that you need to consider is that it may be time to put his career first. Again, it doesn't mean that he gets to choose wherever he wants, but it does mean that you suck it up a bit and potentially get a non-perfect job in a non-ideal city for a while. [/quote]

That's not necessarily true. I am not ok with moving before finding a job. [/quote]
