Dallas over SA.
Houston over Dallas these days though. And there's plenty of Espanol here, too. |

Dallas and Houston areas would probably have the widest variety of Engineering opportunities. Petroleum, Environmental, Telecom/electrical, Civil/structural. SA not so much. |

Dallas is cowboy/country? ROTFL.
Have you been watching 30 year-old reruns of "Dallas" on soap-net at 3 am?
*It wasn't cowboy or country back then either..
See History of Neiman-Marcus. Mr. Stanley lived in my neighborhood. |

I'd agree with that, and from my limited observation, Houston even moreso than Dallas.
Austin-San Antonio do have a good amount of engineering jobs, too, though. In particular, Austin is strong in computer-related areas, earning the moniker "Silicon Hills." Electrical engineering (in which I have a degree) covers a wide umbrella of topics these days, often including computer engineering (my brother's specialty). |

If you get the job in Addison, try to live inside the LBJ (635) Loop in Dallas.

Dallas (Plano, and Richardson) has more electrical engineering jobs than Austin... between TI, Nortel, Cisco, Lockheed Martin, Samsung, Fujitsu, Aglient, etc.
Chemical engineering, I'd say Houston.

San Antonio does have the largest oil company in the country and still has the largest telcom company, for a bit longer. Then the National Defense sector is enormous. Also,Aerospace(Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Pratt & Whitney,Standard Aero, Sino Swearingen) has a respectble presence in S.A., a $ 3-4 billion dollar industry.

Valereo isn't Exxon-Mobile or an oil company, it's a refiner.
