This is an interesting thread. I've been working for the same company for 11 years. The job is safe, pays well, I've had the same manager for 8 years and we get along excellent, work hours are flexible. In short, it's a "dream job". My family (wife, two kids)live in a decent house 7 miles from work. Cost of living here is quite low, you get a lot of housing for the money.

Problem is, I'm bored to death. Burned out. Fed up with the Houston climate, pollution and living in car centric suburban hell. I'd wanted to move somewhere else for a while now, and so has my wife. We want to move somewhere up north (Oregon/Washington/Idaho/Montana) with better access to the outdoors, more bike friendly, cleaner air, real seasons (snow!)....

This dilemma is keeping me awake at nights. What to do, what to do.....
