I'm in SC. You guys in TX are flying the flag for us. Not sure why our state shows what it does, but it may have something to do with one school's team's season.

You would think we would have more applicants than we need based on that. But it ain't so
-
I'd consider moving there. How are the (regular) job prospects?
-
Good unless you are in the fracking business and then not so good.
-
Interesting difference when you cross the Alabama-Georgia border.
-
I grew up in GA and it's been trending that way for a long time now...
Is the growth in TX mainly in the bigger cities or in some of the outlying areas? I prefer peace and quiet over more of the hustle and bustle.
-
Majority of growth in Texas is along major traffic lanes, IH35 between Austin in SA seeing probably the greatest growth in the nation. This is a very nice area and quite spread out - read, you can get into the country really fast.
By the way, if it's on the interwebs it must all be true right? I know I believe everything I see on the net.
LOL

If there's one thing I've learned from my college experience, it's that I do not want to stay in Michigan post college. Nor do I want to go to Texas, I don't think I'd fit in, and above all, I'm not armed.
-
well, getting armed is easy, esp in Texas..
Plus, its not Michigan :)
As long as you can tolerate the summers here. It gets HOT. Now, I dont mind it..but it is a large adjustment (coming from someone who moved to Texas in 1979... right before one of the hottest summers on record).
That was hot.
Plus, its Texas High School football :)

Move to Austin, you'd fit in. It is the liberal island of Texas, if you like that sort of thing and/or you're young.

I'm not liberal or conservative. I'm Canadian. I'm from Saskatoon and we moved to California when I was 11. I'm a junior at Michigan, and once my time in Ann Arbor is up, I'm not sure where I'm going, whether that's staying in Ann Arbor for law school or heading elsewhere. As that one song goes, "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."

I'm not armed.
We are ! ;D

It would be interesting to know on the average how many guns each Texan owns. From my own experience i would be willing to bet its 4 or more
-
May not be as many as you might think http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Despite-all-the-rhetoric-Texas-gun-ownership-6358188.php

Somewhere around 30.

Thats really surprising and even Arkansas has a higher national average than Texas
-
Like the rest of the state of Arkansas I bet their guns dont work. When our guns get a little old and worn out we ship them to Arkansas for newer models.

I challenge you to go into south Arkansas and step on anyone's property to test your theory....you'll see real quick how many of them work.

Coby - those banjos you hear are nothing to worry about. :-)

You win! Nice guns!
-
But are they real? nAnA
-
Real or not, definitely dangerous and not to be handled by the untrained
-

I'd like to see if I can tell!

Oh She is holding a gun.

Change that to the oil business and you're on target. Medical and tech are doing well though.
And despite popular theory, you don't have to be armed to become a citizen of Texas, they will issue you a gun upon arrival. ;)
Seriously, having lived there for six years, I can say that Texas is a great state. I loved it there despite the utter frustration of working football at times and the awful summer heat. So much so that it became home to me by the time we left. The people I met there are awesome.
There are a fair amount of Canadians in the Houston area due to the oil business. Lots of folks from Calgary and the like living there. The nice part about that is the local amateur hockey scene is great and was even better until the AHL team the Aeros moved away. But Austin still has the Texas Stars, Dallas has the NHL team and San Antonio has an AHL team as well. Of course that's assuming you like hockey (aren't all Canadians required to?).
Houston is not a bad place for young folks, especially in the younger areas like the Heights. Lots of good international culture in the city, plenty to do and tons and tons of football to work. Plus it's a fairly liberal city in its own right if the overall conservative reputation of Texas scares you.
Also one more bonus of being in Houston is the chance to work a game with Coby. How can you pass on that opportunity?
I want to come back now. :(

You might have to get a permit to carry those things around.
(See, even a gay guy can get in on the fun! :P)
-
As long as you roost somewhere north of Amarillo, the weather might not be much different than where you came from, probably some cooler.
-
What about New Mexico?

Are you from Dallas?

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Spent my adolescence in Santa Rosa, California, and the past two and a half years, I've been on a campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
