I remember in Texas we went to walk from my brother-in-law's house to the store and several people pulled over to see if we were ok and if we needed a ride since in Texas there are no sidewalks and people don't walk or ride bikes like they do in Colorado, at least in the part we were at. Here I usually walk or take my bicycle to work every day.
One thing to look into in the job is the insurance loophole. With current laws, if the company has more than 50 employees (IIRC) they have to offer insurance to the worker that isn't more than some 9% or so of their income. They also have to offer insurance for their spouse and kids, but don't have to pay a cent of it. But if you get a job that pays for your insurance but not your families, you no longer qualify for insurance help for your family.
Of course a government job probably has benefits for the whole family. As long as I don't go postal.
