My wife sends me this today --
"What would you think about moving to Chicago if I was given the opportunity for an accounting clerk position there?"
What's in Chicago?
For me I'd have to dump my current Gov position, which is specialized to a software program designed for the department's use, which as far as I know is only used in a few Western states. My other qualifications -- I have an AA in Computer Networking. But it is 3 years old, and I've never found work in the computer field, outside of building, setting up, and repairing mine and friend's computers. This, of course, makes my skills there quite rusty. I know that in Reno the job market is pretty dry for entry computer tech positions. I'd have to feel it's the about the same in any big city.
I'm sure her new salary WOULDN'T be enough to compensate for losing half of the household income.
So, for me, what's in Chicago? For her, I know, but for me?
Doesn' matter. If the situation happens, then I'll find out.

Also, you have a gov job. They may not pay a lot, but the benefits are great. And, accounting clerk? Doesn't sound like a high paying position. Out here, clerk make maybe $12/hr. I think it would be important to have a better idea on the job being offered, and on the advancement possibilities (which may look good now but evaporate upon hire.)
