Abstract
Dr. Allister Baxter, assistant professor of physics at a New Jersey state college, has a problem. He has just been offered a research job with a small high-tech engineering company, at a salary increase of $12,000. He has two kids in elementary school, a wife with a job selling real estate, and a house with an enormous three-year-old mortgage. The new job would require relocation to a West Coast city; his entire life so far has been spent on the East Coast.
