We raised our two kids in a small town. Our daughter has always wanted to live in a big city after visiting NYC when she was 14 and 16. That desire has not waned and it seems to be a big deal for her. She got married early (20) just before her and hubby's senior year in college. They have since graduated and he has a year under his belt at a decent job but not the location they would like or the career path he would like (software developing vs his BS in Actuarial Sciences). Daughter was accepted to Columbia (14 hours from husband) and Loyola-Chi (4 hours away) for MSW. Her hubby is not having an easy time getting a position in either city so, daughter faced with a very tough decision as she has to announce intentions soon. They live in the city they received their BA and BS degrees (Big 10 town).
I'm worried about the relationship if she leaves for 17/21 months to chase her masters in SW in a big city. Then again, I'm old and realize that their generation has tools for staying close that I didn't have when I was their age.The relationship is reportedly "very good" and husband reportedly "supports her". Any experiences or advice welcome. I'll likely share the thread with her.
