New When will the layoffs stop?
I am unable to travel to an out of state job, my wife wants to stay here and keep her job here and stay here because she has family here. She doesn't want me to move without her, so she won't let me go out of state.

There are jobs where I am at, just have more qualified people for them than I am. I'm competing against ex-Dotcommers and people that got laid off from a high tech hot spot job. Most of them have a better degree than I have, and/or Microsoft certification.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

New Then you are tied to that tiny microcosm.
By decision. Best study your local scene minutely, them - for you cannot benefit from even a huge bonanza, just out of your commute range of choice. Or even a hundred mini-bonanzas.

Sorry about your limited choices. Maybe starving in StL IS better than ... the limitless alternatives. Must be Quite a Place!

Hmm.. maybe the folks with total veto power can manage to find equivalent replacement income, then. House-husband - though an opportunity to see WHY '*Every* Mother is a Working Mother' - can be kewl.. And ya gets to play Doom VII - the Post-Ashcroft Apocalypse ... in between chores. :-\ufffd
