It's funny that you said tri-state area because where I'm from is also known as a tri-state area (Kentucky, Indiana, and Illionis). I'm not too sure I'd like to move that far away; I definately know that my wife wouldn't go for that. Especially if she gets a teaching position here. I'll probably try to stay around this area for at least a year, then I might move to Indianapolis, Louisville, Lexington, etc. It all depends on if I'm still at the bank or if I find another job elsewhere. One reason that the bank isn't paying me as much is because I started as a teller and got promoted to the Network Assistant when the new teller computers needed to be installed and configured. Another reason is that the bank doens't use Novell at all; they have an AS/400, a Windows NT server, and a Windows 2000 server. So my CNA isn't worth anything to them in their eyes. When I get my CCNA, they probably won't be thinking that will be useful to them either. Hopefully by next year I'll have another job around here because I've basically decided that this job is just for the experience.
Are you kidding she could get a teaching position in NY in a hot minute. Qualified Teachers are very rare here, plus teachers also get hazard pay (don't quote me though). Tri-State around here means NY, NJ and CT. Though the NY portion really means Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs, who cares about the rest. Anyway, good luck with your new career.
