Job hunt update

Michael is home for a while - thankfully. He's down to three schools - maybe four. I've listed them in his preference - but I would swap 1 and 2.... personally. Any of them would be fine. I hope something pans out. I can't do this much longer. Living in the NOW and keeping life going in our house, school, work... AND playing the "what if" game is mentally straining.

Hartford, CT - Michael really likes the prospects of Hartford University. The school and the city and the area are his ideal. Plus a train ride to NYC. A train ride to Boston. A vacation in Maine... etc. However, he doesn't think that his interview went terribly well. Not horrible - like they said "no chance". But he felt that the chemistry was a little off.... not clicking. He thinks they will pay well though.

Columbus, OH - Otterbein College - it is a division III school. It is smaller and they LOVE him. Columbus is close to Cincinati, Cleveland... there is NBA, NFL, MLB, etc... all the benefits of a big city - symphony, ballet... it is the state capital... they have Ohio State University. At the school every person on the faculty that met with him sent HIM a thank you note. His presentation went well. His visit went well. Our fear is that they won't pay very well though.

Myrtle Beach, SC - Coastal Carolina University - the school liked him, he liked the school. Unfortunately he feels that due to it being a resort area, it doesn't have a big city base of culture. He's worried about the impact on the kids - not having many. The school liked him enough to set up a visit with a real estate agent. He thinks they won't pay too hot either.

We will see!!!
