Flight Dispatch - Give it to me straight, Doc

Got the Gleim. Mucho info for the adx, yet for the first time in my life I'm actually excited about a career. Before I really begin my long journey of learning it all, I'm still trying to get a feel for the whole job scene. So, a few questions:

1. I know about the major locations like atl, dfw and even mem for cargo like fedex, but what about all the other cargos and regionals? Is there a website that shows a broad list of dispatch locations in the US?

2. I'm within driving distance to a Marine Air Station and Fort Bragg, do they hire civilians?

3. I have 3 years until I can move. If I obtain the adx cert say in the next 6 months, would it expire or be looked down upon if I'm not employed as such for 3 years?

4. Could obtaining my adx cert. be useful in getting some peripheral admin. job at my local airports of ilm, myr, oaj, fay, rdu?

I assume that the obvious solution to my 3 yr. holding pattern is to just wait until I can move, but at 48 years old, I'm determined to find a way to get going sooner rather than later.
Thanks to all.

1. Here is a list of regional airlines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airlines_of_the_United_States#Regional. Here are all the cargo airlines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airlines_of_the_United_States#Cargo_airlines

2. Not sure

3. The dispatch certificate does not expire. Can't say if it would or would not be looked down upon without using it. I will say you learn a lot of info while getting your certificate. If you don't use that knowledge relatively quickly you will forget some of it.

4.) It can't hurt.
