to consider moving somewhere DH won't get work and dropping our income by over £10k pa? Do I go to this interview? Help needed quickly!

Can't make a decision so need help!

I have a job interview on Friday. I am in the North West, job is in the South West which is where we want to move to. Here's the factors:

Pros:

The job for me is a dream.
Beautiful part of the world
been trying to get out of here for two years and DS1 starts school in Spetember, after which time I will feel very guilty about movign him.

Cons:
Absolutely no work down there for DH. He currenlty earns about £30k and we just about manage. Any jobs down there for him pay £17k max.

We would need to pay for childcare for DS2 full time and DS1 probably after school, unless DH doesn't work in which case we'd have my salary which would be £18-22k. (I think.)

Rent down there is no cheaper.

We are going on holiday on Sunday anyway and to actually go to the interview DH would have to skived Friday so we could all go down there and have a weekend there before driving to Dover to get the ferry.

It sounds nuts really, but I worry that if we don't try we'll never get out of here.

DH thinks the whole thing is madness.

Help!

i would ask the potential employer, who sounds keen to give you work btw, if you can meet for an interview when you return.

Worth following up ANY offer of work/contacts imo.
