I know there is at least a Western slope discussion floating around here somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it, and it may just be better to ask my specific questions in a new thread.

Some of you are aware that recently I made a big life change, in ending a 10 year career to pursue education and further my career goals. I now am pretty much wide open for where I want to live/go to school and or work. If it were up to me, we'd move to the desert and call it good. I think Grand Junction is the best climate compromise for us both, as she refuses to live in an actual desert. With that said, here are a few questions I have.

-What is the Job market like? Specifically for my wife, she's a banker considering a future in nursing, but banking is her current Forte.

- How is the Sheriff in Mesa county? I'm looking real hard at the deputy positions available with MC.

- We don't go out much at all, but if the wife and I wanted to "go out", how is the night life for two young'ish adults.

- If Colorado eventually turns completely blue, what is the political climate for GJ?

- How are the school's? I've got 2 little one's, and the oldest will start school in about 3 years.

I may come up with some other questions, if I do I'll post them. Thanks for any input.
