KCOM'ers!What job oportunities are their for spouses in Kirksville? My wife has 3 yrs management experience in the financial services industry working for a national bank. She is concerned about finding work that will not only support our family, but stimulate her as well in a rural area. Any comments or advice? Incidentally, what banks are located in Kirksville? Thanks!

Hey Doc! Your wife may be fortunate: the only jobs in Kirksville are for teachers and bankers. I noticed many bank jobs available when I first moved here, but they were obviously mostly for tellers, then your wife would have to work her way up. Unfortunately, the joke goes that you call a spouse with a bachelor's degree "secretary." In a small town, there is not much to do, so most of the spouses either take sub-par jobs, stay at home, or work on the internet at their previous jobs.

The banks in K'ville are Bank Midwest, Northeast Missouri State Bank, Firstar, and Bank of Kirksville. Good luck!!
 
I forgot to mention that we also have financial services offices such as Security Finance, etc, that she can check into! Try visiting <a href="http://www.kirksvillechamber.com" target="_blank">www.kirksvillechamber.com</a> and you should be able to locate some of the business opportunities. Also, you can try <a href="http://www.kirksvilledailyexpress.com" target="_blank">www.kirksvilledailyexpress.com</a> to look at classifieds.
