What's this?

I would love Alaska, but my wife would kill me or just not go, so that's a

no go. Thanks for the tips on Arizona though. I'm not so much worried about money so long as I can support my family. I can't do that in Mexico anymore. We tread water. That's about it. I'm not looking to become rich. No one in my family has ever been rich. I just want to make it to the end of my life (not nearly there yet I hope) knowing I've taken care of everyone I'm responsible for.

I would recommend changing career to a border agent with the Spanish skill -- VaTechie 04/25/2016 11:59AM

Do you have (or can you get) a yoo-ess teaching credential? -- JoesterVT 04/25/2016 11:55AM

I'm sure I could if I needed to. Kind of my backup at this point. I'm not -- hokiemas 04/25/2016 11:56AM

What plagues job seekers most is the rise of so many recruiters. -- PhotoHokieNC 04/25/2016 11:53AM

Yeah, I'd have to imagine San Diego, LA, and San Fran are ridiculous. -- hokiemas 04/25/2016 1:35PM

San Diego actually isn't nearly as bad. But you're not going to be living -- ElbertoHokie 04/25/2016 2:05PM
