Hi Nancy,
Just a thought; why don't you see if you can find a 'contract' position
in the NYC/Boston/Philly/DC area? It might give you a chance to get to
the area and see if you can start a practice there while not making a
full-time commitment? Often the rates are a lot better when you
contract, and you could probably get a per-diem expense if you were,
technically speaking, still from the Midwest.
Also, check out _Contract Employment Weekly_ magazine...will probably
have a lot of contacts/job listings.
Regards,
Bill Hartzer Bill Hartzer
