So to clarify, overall things are good with the kids. They are popular, good friends, do well in school and sports, etc. The high school that my oldest is headed to is turning out to be a major joke, hence the departure of our friends and probably more to come. So IF the point comes where we start discussing a different school, which I sense is coming, I would like to consider all options. At this point I would say that location is hindering my career progression and satisfaction, and if I’m going to move a kid to another school why not look somewhere with better career prospects? But the biggest hesitation is the fact that I would be the major push behind moving. Sure it would be to give my family a better life, but there’s a selfish aspect as well that nags at me.
