Well personally I would consider areas doing good do to the oilfield like San Antonio, Midland, and Odessa. These places have a few extra follows to upgrade systems or need help because their managers ran off to the oilfield. That's just my thought anyhow.

Texas has jobs, but there is huge competition. Pacifically from those relocating from other states.

No, that is not a Grammar issue. saying "Pacifcally" is outrageously wrong and not even a word. That is beyond incorrect grammar. You may have well started the post by saying "Lemme axe yall a quessin". It is one thing to speak that way, it is a whole new level of wrong when you type that way.

Seriously, you are asking for career advice? I would flat out not hire you if I read that. There's my advice.

To be pacific, you can look out in Victoria or I'm guessing the shipping channel of Houston since there's hundreds of rigs dotting the horizon out in the gulf.

No, I couldn't help but say pacific, pacifically for this post.
