My husband just finished his masters degree in Educational Administration. Origionally he planned on working in institional research at a University or college, but now he's thinking of staying in the corporate sector and doing metrics, or working in business intelligence. In other words he would be an analyst of sorts for an HR dept. A kind of statisticion that crunches numbers and delivers important data that helps the company make decisions. That being said, he could work for any company that has a large enough business that they need this kind of analysis. He could also be a compensation analyst. He's pretty flexible...we don't care if we work for a university or a company....we just want a good quality of life with lots of family time. Thanks everyone for your replies. How long are the winters in Montana? --Janea

Hi I am from Seattle. The cost of living is very high and my husband's commute is crazy-long. We are looking for a great place to raise our family. One where you can buy a 2000+ square foot, 4 bedroom house for under $350,000. We have done alot of research about various areas, but are always nervous to go to an area we have never ever been to before especially since we want a good solid core of LDS friends for our young children. I am not excited about living in a desert. So where do you live and do you love it? What do you love about it. What is your ward like wher you live? is it big? Why do you think it's a great place to raise a family? Thanks!
