Dear Cali Chica:

There is nothing wrong with calculated risk. A lot of people did very well taking calculated risks, some did well taking wild risks. Reads to me that this is a calculated risk and one likely to succeed (in my no-experience in such matters mind). I don’t think there are U.S educated medical doctors out on their luck in SoCA. None (except perhaps a few on psychotic outbreaks) living under a bridge.

And there is risk right there in nyc, in his salaried job, if not a risk to the job itself, then a risk of being attacked by a patient, or on the way to work and so forth.

Key is: can he endure the stress of moving and living there.

Also, he got scared about moving, grew fond of his job as a result of that fear... got scared and as a result held tight to what is familiar to  him, viewing his job as something positive. Let’s say the two of you stay in nyc, he is less afraid and back is his bad experiencing at his current job.

See how he feels about his job in the near future.. he hated it before, it’s not likely that his experience changed that much. I am thinking he got scared of moving and .. temporarily viewed his  job positively, so to stay in nyc and avoid the move.
