1 year

Could you move away from everything for 1 year?

I'm toying with the idea of working in the far north for 1 year. The pay is pretty good. It's not amazing. It's not mind blowing. But it's pretty darn good.

Within 1 year, I'd be able to pay off several debts and be left with only moderate debt that would easily be payable in the next year if I moved back.

I haven't even decided to apply yet because I'm not sure I want to do it.

I could do it, and I would be fine doing it permanently too. It is only a year. That year may suck but it sounds like it will improve your financial situation.

Yes. I have in the past...

Yep, and wouldn't look back, guess im use to it from being prior military.

Doing a little more figuring I'd be able to pay off all debts save student loans in the first 4 months. Student loans would be paid off over the next 8 months with possibly a little nest egg left at the end.

I wouldn't move to the far north. I'd go south though.

I considered south when all I wanted was a bit of adventure....but the thought of making half of what I do now isn't too appealing.

No doubt. I can't get my wife to move out of Central PA or I'd be in South Carolina this afternoon.

North and South Carolina are the worst for teaching! Pay scales are absolutely rediculous. No way in hell would I bother with that.

My wife is a teacher.

But I was not aware of that.
