[quote=Anonymous][quote]we looked very seriously at Austin. My husband is a security/defense gov't contractor, and we worried about the market for that in Austin. Jobs in that field just aren't as plentiful as they are here. He's not really an IT/computer guy, so working for Dell didn't appeal. And I didn't want to live in any OTHER part of Texas that wasn't Austin. There are opportunities for him in Fort Hood area, but you couldn't pay me to live there. [/quote]

He could do the reverse commute to Ft. Hood while he looks for something else. It's a long drive, but people do it. It's not uncommon for Army personnel in the JAG and Medical Corps' who have non-military professional spouses who work in Austin. Depending on pay levels, he could even get something (room/efficiency) in Killeen really cheap if he didn't want to make the drive to/from Austin every day. Being there (in TX), will probably make the job search for an Austin-based position easier.

Just a thought... not ideal, but living in Austin and commuting to Ft. Hood is not unheard of.

Austin just beats DC on so many levels.[/quote]
