I am a single guy late 20s. I currently live near Philly and i hate it. I want to live somewhere with warm, sunny weather and nice people. I have heard fantastic things about Austin from friends who have visited or moved there. Supposedly, pretty much everybody in Austin is nice! I have never been there, but I hope to visit sometime this year and possibly move next year if i like it.

I work in the Energy industry as an analyst. Are there good prospects for Energy jobs in Austin? I would imagine there are lots of energy jobs in Houston and maybe Dallas, but not sure about Austin. Would be interested in hearing more about job prospects in the Energy sector, as well as some information about how the city in general has fared during the economic crisis relative to other places.

Thanks so much!

The Austin economy has done better then most other places but the general concensus is do not move here without a job unless you have a lot of savings to live on while you look for one.
