Where is it better to live and work in, San Antonio, TX or Miami, FL?
I currently live in Miami and work in insurance, but since I have a dislike for hurricanes, am considering relocating to SA. What type of working possibilities could I find there?

I live in Florida too and also hate hurricane season. My husband is with our EOC, so it's double stress for me. I don't know about the jobs there, but it's definitely cheaper in Texas than here in Florida. I watch a show called "Flip This House" where a house is bought, updated, then flipped. One specific company shown is from Texas and the prices of the homes are unbelievable compared to Florida. You'd definitely pocket some money if you're a homeowner and sell. But you're in insurance and everyone needs insurance, so I'm sure you'd have no problem finding a job. Start posting your resume online and call the local Chamber of Commerce in the city you want to move in for more information.

www.mysanantonio.com Also look in the City of San Antonio web site. You might also look on the San Antonio Independent School District web site and scroll down to "Purchasing Department". That will take you to another web site that several clients who look for services like janitorial,plumbing,and electrical,or construction.

Ask your boss. IF you are newly appointed, the supervisor should give you a clue where to look and if the boss has no clue, you could always call another electrician and ask how they go about doing it. I know it's the competition, but sometimes they get overbooked and do offer other businesses as alternatives. They do this knowing a person will think of them in the future.
