Houston

Grew up in NOLA and live in Houston now. Lived in Dallas before this.

I find in life that things are what you make of them. If you move to Houston with a negative bias, you will see that it lives up to it. If you move to Houston with an open mind and a bigger bankroll, you might actually like it. In the very least, you can get some valuable work experience that will allow you to move somewhere else later. From what I have seen, its much easier to find a new job when you have one to begin with.
