    I just got back from a job in Houston yesterday and that is what everyone there was telling me.

    Most of the people that I talked to swore that their economy isn't hurting at all. Sounds nice!

    I wish I knew. I have had a hard time finding a job as well. I am ready to just settle for a Wal*Mart job or something to be honest.

    Houston has a ton of things going for it: First, our economy is highly diversified, high tech, medicine, etc. Oil is only 7% although oil is booming right now. While unemployment is high everywhere else, it is extremely low here. There is a spillover affect. Just regular service and labor type jobs are good.
    I swear, I can't get the spoiled kids where I live to wash my cars for less than $14 an hour. I was paying 12 and the kids would quit because they can get $9 an hour for an easy job sitting on their a@#.

    Now that I have some time off I am washing my owns cars, but when I was teaching a double load up until this Friday ha didn't have time and had to pay. The point is there are lots of good paying jobs here if you are willing to work.

    My best friend, who owns a car wash was paying his manager $60K per year to manage the place. It is a hard job (starts at 6AM everyday) but 60K, come one. And the guy was an ex con. My buddy hired him right out of the pen and in 2 years he was manager. One day they had an argument and the guy walked off the job because he knew he could get another.
