Would it be possible to move, and if things don't work out, move back? I know it'd be hard, but another thing is at least it's 3 hours and not further, so you could still go see your family on the weekends/holidays, you wouldn't have to constantly be flying (as long as you don't mind car rides). I kinda can relate because my fiance's job was going to relocate across the country almost! I cried when he told me, I couldn't leave my friends and family, that was all that was holding me back. Fortunatly though, his job isn't relocating (at least for now, knock on wood)

But then again, like others posted, you'll never know what it's like unless you do it. And if the job opportunity is really good, and can open a lot of doors for him, maybe take the chance and see. Sometimes when people pass up opportunities they wonder about it nonstop in the future.."what if I did this" etc. So I would say go for it! (I know, easier said than done though)

The area is east of St. Louis. I asked him would it be something that we may later regret and he said yes. I also asked him if the other companies may offer him this and he said no. Also, there is a really nice moving allowance. It's something we are going to have to talk about more. Gosh, it's tough.
