Anyone? He did apply today. How would you feel if your husband got this job? Anyone have any more positives or negatives we need to think about in the event that he gets offered the job?
Sounds like a good oppertunity to me! If you're okay with moving multiple times over the next few years then go for it. I personally looooath moving but thats mainly because I'm lazy, lol. You're totally right, you're young and this is probably an oppertunity that won't present itself again. If I was more adventerous, I would totally jump on this!
ETA:
Pros:
@UpstateCait: I absolutely hate moving too. I guess the main things appealing to me right now are that I could more likely find the Masters program I want, we'd make a LOT of money, and we could explore. We've never been to the west coast so if we move to California, we could have a lot of fun.
You seem totally fine with it, and thats what matters, is how you two feel about it. I agree, better now than later, and you can always save for now and when/if it gets old he can look for something new.
I think it's a good opportunity for a few years at least. Pay down your debts, see a bunch of new places, then settle down more permanently when you plan to start a family.
I would be okay with it if I were in your situation. Right now we are pretty settled where we are and own a house, but if I had an opportunity like this soon after I graduated, I would have taken it without hesitation.
Personally I would love this. It's a great opportunity to see new cities that you would have to pay to travel to, and it would be great adventure for you and your husband.
If he does get it, let us know! It would be great to follow you in your adventures!
It sounds like a good opportunity and it's not something you have to stay with forever.
If moving doesn't bother you it is a great opportunity! Transferring credits from school to school might be a pain, but maybe with online courses it might be a little easier. If I were you I'd do it. I'd love the adventure.
@2ndtime: What I'm hoping for is that he'll get a job somewhere without my program first so I can take the tests and get ready. Then when he finds out where we're going, if they have my program and we'll be there for a couple of years, I can get school out of the way then (hopefully).
I'm glad everyone says it seems to be a good opportunity, it makes me feel a little bit better!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So my husband had a job interview a couple of weeks ago. I posted about it because he thought it went really well. He found out today that someone he went to school with was offered the job today. So that was disappointing but that person brought us back to a job he had previously looked at. He told my husband that it was a job that pays a lot because nobody really wants it (for reasons I'll discuss in a minute) but that this guy applied for it on a Monday, had a phone interview on Friday and was offered the job on the following Monday.
Why does nobody want this job? It moves every 18-24 months. We'd be all over the country in places like Wisconsin, Florida, and California. I could apply to graduate school/do all of the testing in the first location and go in the second. The job I'm looking into has only around thirty schools in the country that offer it at a Masters level and if I could find it, that'd be awesome. It also pays about twice as much as the other jobs he's applied to so we'd be able to get rid of our debt quickly and save up for when we finally do settle down and want a house/family. Also, we're only 23 years old so better now than later right?
I'm hesitant about this job but it'd allow me to have more options on schools to go to as well as not having to work while going to school with the salary he'd be making. Also, it'd help us in the long run and after about three locations, he could apply for a permanent job somewhere. And we'd have the money to travel before settling down.
I know he hasn't been offered the job yet but I just wanted opinions on what you guys think? Is this a good opportunity to explore the country while he gets experience? It seems stressful but the more we talk about it, the more it seems okay even though I know our families would be devastated if we were as far away as California.
