Well, to start out if you don't know I have worked for the last 11 years as a manager for a couple large Japanese companies and my wife is a stay-at-home mom to our 8 kids.
Over the last few months we have been rethinking where we have ended up and how it compares to both of our dreams and passions. This was then 'assisted' by my learning last month that I would be unemployed early next year.
Therefore, we are taking a major leap of faith and I have quit my job effective this Friday.
Our new plans involve our moving several hours east of where we live, and both of us returning to school. If all goes as planned we will be moving around Christmas and we both begin classes in Jan.
Our intention is for me to apply to Medical School this August to start Fall '11 and Jo to follow me 2 years later. She wants to be a Pediatrician in an underserved area and after seeing their impact on families through both our medical-needs sons I have decided to become a Pediatric Anesthesiologist.
Not sure the purpose of this thread other than to give an update and ask you all for your thoughts as we make this move.
