[quote=Anonymous]MB here. I spoke to my husband last night and we both decided it would be better for me to stay in DC until next fall. It's only one more year. I would be able to save enough to go back to college by next fall and I would have enough saved to just study and not work while I finish my undergrad degree. My husband will have 2 years to complete his PhD when I plan to move back and that will give me enough time to complete my degree. Atlanta is actually quite far from Athens. Finding a job in Atlanta would not really be an opition. The commute( 3-4 hours day) would be too much. My work days as a nanny are typically 9-10 hour days because the parents have to commute to/from their home so it's almost always a minmum 9 hours /day for most nanny positions. Also I don't think any family in Atlanta would want to employ a nanny who has to commute 1.5-2 hours each way to work.

Things would be really bad if I were to lose the nanny job in Athens, and I was left to find work because the job market is sluggish. I'm going to politely decline the job offer. I'd rather take my chances finding a new job in DC than walking a find line with no safety net in Georgia.

I also wanted to mention we were both blind sided before moving to Athens from DC last summer. We thought his salary would be enough to cover our expenses and my school fees.
We found out his salary package actually included tuition! So his salary is really $15,000 instead of $40,000. He had an assitantship for his masters and they presented the scholarship package in a different way. They didn't include tution. [/quote]
