I’ve lived in Texas and cannot tolerate the climate. Here, we measure rain by the foot and summers rarely get above 80 degrees, which suits me just fine. On the other hand, we have relatives who live in Texas and I’ve urged my nephew to relocate there, as he likes the climate.
There are jobs here in the Pacific Northwest. Employers just do not want to hire a 61-year old woman who hasn’t worked in a decade and has physical limitations. Moving to another region will not change that scenario.
(For more than ten years I was caregiver to my dying elderly parents and a young nephew. Family obligations ended last fall.)
My posting was about having disabilities but still being able to work plus employers reluctant to hire someone over the age of 50 years. If you have a couple of physical problems and are over age 50, your chances of being hired are remote. I don’t care what the law states: age discrimination exists.
The heat is a concern in Houston so I can understand. Not much you can do about the age and physical limitations. I wish you luck in your endeavors. No matter how bad the situation there is always opportunities available. I know nothing about you but I can tell you write very well and know how to operate computers. Companies need this kind of skill.
