Surely there's a local IT staffing company in your area that can help you.

It sounds like your wife is the one driving this change, not you. Maybe I'm misreading. Did I understand that she won't move unless you make enough to cover what both of you are making right now?

No its not my wife. It is difficult to find a teaching job in AL right now.

To the other post, I have contacted the cities in my area and they already have someone that does what you are saying. They basically have a contract to a local technician for this work.

Married life isn't always about one person driving the change. I would never ask my wife to quit the job that she likes and has been for a long time just to suit myself. I wouldn't ask, and she likely wouldn't offer.

I certainly didn't mean anything offensive by what I said guys... I misread the situation.

I have a brother in law and another good friend that ARE in marriages like that.
