In terms of climate, politics, culture and all that, it would be a bit of a change, but I'm pretty confident with your experience you'd likely be looking at around $25/hr minimum. And that would likely be you taking a slightly lesser position to get your foot in the door (didn't realize you were the assistant GM, just thought you were a front desk manager).
I'm sure you'd be in the $55-$70k range, depending on size of hotel/position within a few years no problem in this city.

Tuscaloosa isn't the "hot spot" for hospitality. Now if I were to move to Lakeland (tampa) or a vacation/resort town I would make much more than what I am at now.
In all honesty once the fiance graduates and say I get the GM job at 40k she makes roughly 12k a year we can live very nice on 52k.
It's not about how much you make, it's what you do with it. look at how many football players are broke so fast. if they put their signing bonus in a savings account they would have a ton of interest.
