cost of living not too high. good job opportunities (wife's an RN, me EI). school system is good. lots of nice places for relaxation and recreation for the family. hope this helps.
Your wife could make bank in Birmingham's medical field. Sorry, I am not thinking clearly but what is an EI?
Eng'r. Intern used to be called EIT (Eng'r. In Training).
Well let me give you some more info on Birmingham. There are areas with nice houses for cheap and areas such as Mtn. Brook that most people here could not afford. The pay is decent, but we have no public transporation. We have a corrupt local government, but Bham is sprawled out, so you can ignore the few that have to live under the Mayor's rule.
I love Birmingham, but it isn't for everyone. Birmingham has a huge medical field and needs Engineers as much as anywhere.
If you like the South, then come visit Birmingham one weekend. Look at some houses online.

Finally check out UAB(uab.edu) and the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce(google that I don't remember the address). Good luck in your search.
