Hubby applied for a teaching job as "practice" and within a month of being contacted about a job, we moved.

Best thing we've ever done. We're both extremely happy.

Pay is better here than in Ohio, however the cost of living is higher too. Real estate is insane. Luckily, we're renting from the school at 1/2 the normal rate.

I'm grateful we took a chance. Hopefully, something lucrative will come along, Patty. I'm glad you did your research! Hubby is from WV but there is no way we could stay there and have good jobs. His mom still teaches there though.
