Your email inspired me today. I hope you don't mind, but I know a lot of people identify with your struggles. My hope is you not only find a job, but stick things out with your wife. I suspect you're just expressing frustration with the thought, but I understand where that frustration comes from. We have little choice but to depend on the economy to really spark some hiring. Keep in touch and let me know how things work out. If you are looking out of state, I recommend Arizona which is at least close to Cali provided you don't have any warrants for your arrest in the Grand Canyon State.
