With little effort, you may find that other states need nurses as well (e.g., Ohio), and forgo Texas. I lived in Texas for 10 years, and finally left. Too dam hot and spread out. Couldn’t wait to leave. However, if you can stand the climate and much of the other stuff, it could be a nice place. The people are nice, strong belief that the world orbits around Texas (interesting), 3 of 4 seasons are nice, lotsa money, like a foreign country, politically on the “right” side, and so on (oh, and as another poster said, lotsa beautiful women - sorry, I didn’t check out the guys). Houston as a destination? A very poor choice. From one armpit (NY) to another.
I need to find a job as well. Both my sister and I need to move to another state where we have a job waiting for us.
We have both been supporting ourselves since our teens. Even if she found a job and could support me until I found one to support myself is unthinkable.
I know we need to spend money to travel to a place to move to. Unfortunately, like a lot of us, we live pay check to pay check.
