However that there might be a different "racial" component in Alabama is a given. "Racism" is inherent in us 'all', regardless of race, and the only thing we have control over is whether it is positive, negative, neutral or individually determined. This should not be 'the' determining factor in your decision, in my opinion. The important things to consider ,from my point of view (not needfully in order): 1.) Will you further your professional career? 2.) Will you enhance your family life? 3.) Will you provide a 'broader' horizon for your children by the move? 4.) Will your income possibilites increase? 5.) Usually the tech is considered "staff/faculty" and therefore any educational oppotunity provided by the College is very reasonable, if not no cost, to 'all' family members........(with the cost of school these days and t he quality of UA credentials, coupled with young children, this would be no small thingee ;) Besides I gots family what work at T'losa campi and they good folk. Give me a shout if'n y'all wants to discuss this som mo. Jim Bryant (FL)
