Maybe this is to kill time before our August 10th sail date---I love visiting these boards but I don't have any more questions to ask 
So I have been sitting around thinking about my career. I have worked at a group home for at risk youth (boys) for the past 12 years. Generally we take boys between the ages of 13-18 and our contract is up to 28 residents, however these days we hold about 20 on average due to the 'judicial system'. Our numbers have dropped over the years, 'good' referrals are much harder to come by. My family moved to western Nebraska and this job just kind of happened to fall into our laps--we live on site in our own home (17 miles from town
) and have raised our DD13 and DDS9 here. My current job position is a school liaison between our residents and the public school system. My DH has not worked here for about 6 years and is currenlty working at our county sherriffs dept. as a jailer. To make a long story short this job has a burn out stage of approximately 6 month to 1 year---as you can see we have gone WAY past that stage. There are days that I love my job and find it very rewarding, but other days there can be very trying times that test your patience and sanity. Maybe its frustration or I'm just at a point in my life where I am considering that another career or possibly returning to college is something to think about. So my question to you is "what do you do for a living, do you love your job?" convince me that what you do for a living is good or bad. I would love to consider new careers and relocation. 
Tell me about where you live and why relocating to your city would be good.

I will, however, say that I love the area I live in. It's clean, safe, and growing at a nice, slow rate. I live just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
