I concur, if the wife is well into it and the compensation is that much greater, go for it. You will have
a higher cost of living in the big city versus hicksville or wherever, but there are benefits to that move
as well. Like doing stuff, if you like stuff.

I wasn't really making a statement about the America's public education system, just stating that the
