This entirely revolves around Chris's job (wouldn't be moving otherwise). But given how much is posted right now, I should look out there...<br /><br />Tina, that's good to hear...and Montclair would be a great location for me...Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854891640925870685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354244623520027.post-26125643640782418132010-04-14T09:51:40.674-04:002010-04-14T09:51:40.674-04:00What about moving up the eastern "coast"...What about moving up the eastern "coast" of PA (like Northampton or northern Bucks counties)? You somewhat avoid the craptacular real estate taxes of NJ. Plus, it sounds like NJ's education and civil services are going to be in the toilet for at least 4 years (and probably longer - I mean, how do you re-start those programs after they've been decimated?).<br /><br />Just some thoughts.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179828787315288924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354244623520027.post-8149444241676590182010-04-13T20:40:00.863-04:002010-04-13T20:40:00.863-04:00As a fellow Jersey girl who definitely doesn't...As a fellow Jersey girl who definitely doesn't fit the Jersey Shore/bleached blonde/strip mall lovin'/Mustang driving stereotype, I say go back to Jerz if you need to.<br /><br />Gov. Christie Creme has destroyed higher ed's budget, but there are still jobs slowly working their way down the pike. Montclair, in particular seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. <br /><br />Most importantly, just because you leave your job doesn't mean you leave your students. I felt horrible guilt after leaving my last job, but I'm still in contact with many of them, 3 years later, and still write letters of recommendation for them or even get the most lovely e-mails from them thanking me for something I did when they were my students.<br /><br />Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354244623520027.post-39567200508440755842010-03-31T23:38:40.167-04:002010-03-31T23:38:40.167-04:00Miss Em!

But I've got my eyes peeled for the first fruitful opportunity to get the hell out.<br /><br />Life has a crappy way of working out sometimes. I'm proud of you for taking this in stride though, and considering it as possibly a good thing!mikaronihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13909295688530041884noreply@blogger.com
