[QUOTE="ssampier, post: 5153233, member: 10205"] You guys are awesome. I'll address comments/questions reverse chronologically. 1) Texas sounds good, power not so good, especially since I'd be moving from dry-heat to wet or muggy heat. And crime sucks no matter where you live (if you are robbed or otherwise threatened, it doesn't matter the crime rate). 2) Janx, at my last job I was a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, including occasionally secretary/janitor. Most of my time was spent with system administration with Windows and Linux servers. I did a little bit of network admin, too. I have been applying for system administration and network administration jobs. I'd like to move to an area where I don't get called at home. All the job descriptions say 24/7 support. Ugh. Here are a few areas I'm exploring: Web developer, system analyst, and project manager. In my current career target I am looking at virtualization and security. I enjoy Virtualization, but I don't have lots of experience (last employer won't fund it). Security pays well. I feel that security is a negative connotation ("Security guys are so negative. What if we never have an attack?"), so I don't know if I want to continue down that path. 3) What are the big business schools in Texas? I know of U of T at Austin, but I only found one in Houston. Since I'm half-way to a fatbeard (don't like facial hair), maybe lots of good dining isn't so great after all. Gaming sounds good. Retail is such a tough market now. Gaming retail has never been big-business. 4) Good that Texas has diverse industries. Whether this small town will make when "clean coal" becomes a reality, I don't know. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"> [/QUOTE]
