Life What am I thinking...?

I spent 6 years in the Navy and just about everyone from the Captain on down wanted to me to stay in. I had a lot of options. But the Bosslady said "Do what you want, but I'll be in KC." Kinda made up my mind real quick. Then one day she mentioned that had I stayed in that I could have retired with 30 years and had all that money. Darn near decked her!

Back to your question. If you do decide to move to the KC area your options may well be limited. If your wife wants to work in Levenworth, you'll need to move somewhat close to there. If you want to go to nursing school, KU Med Center would be a good choice, but it's not close to Leavenworth. So you may have to split the difference.

To really do anything in nursing, you will need a BSN as a bare minimum. If you can stand the education, you may look at being a nurse anesthetist. These folks can pull in $100k a year.
