I'm starting to consider moving to Dallas to attend school. I've had a few of members of the Texas crowd try to get me to move down there in the last few months or so, but now I'm starting to think it's a good idea.
A bunch of you missed all the fun, but in a nutshell, I got divorced not too long ago and am back to trying to see what I want to be when I grow up. I think I want to go back to school for a Mech E degree and I have a "friend of a friend" who's a professor in Dallas (as is his wife). So, I'm starting to give this some thought. I'm guessing I'd be bringing the Camaro and the truck (need the truck to move and I can't afford to sell it, and the Camaro is paid for). Anything I need to know about considering a move to Dallas? |

I have friends at UT who are faculty and can offer guidance. So, I'd probably go there.

QUOTE (trackbird @ Jun 23 2008, 09:06 PM)  I have friends at UT who are faculty and can offer guidance. So, I'd probably go there. Let's see..... My place is 1 hour north of Dallas. I rent out a 2200 sf loft for $600. I rented my 2 bay shop with a lift for $600. With that said, commuting into the Metroplex sucks, BAD. The DFW Metroplex has the 5th worst traffic in the country and I believe whomever did that survey cut us some slack. Man oh man, get into something to do with energy. Oil, gas, wind. Petroleum engineers median $$ is $137k. Google " Barnett Shale" -- huge, huge opportunities. I have been in every state in the CONUS a least 2x, I have lived in TN, GA, FL, VA and TX. Texas is it for me. I just can't imagine being anywhere else. Come on down (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |
