Let me try to answer your questions in order: It's much more complicated that I care to get into here, but my wife encouraged me to get back into healthcare and so something that wasn't sucking the life out of me. A lot of research and application later, I am going to NSU Tampa to become an AA. A few bonuses with Tampa are the presence of several of her family members a low cost of living and no state income tax. She runs a business and that will help while I am not working. We have 3 kids but the are all 3 and under. Schools are not a huge issue yet. We are coming from NJ, so the move is a big hassle.
