Ever consider a contract job in Houston, TX? As the largest city in Texas, Houston is full of all the things that make the Lone Star State a premium destination for tourists and long term inhabitants alike. Situated a few minutes inland from the Gulf of Mexico, Houston offers a gorgeous, moderate climate and every amenity one could look for in a major city.
With an average cost of living four points under the national average, Houston is extremely affordable (at least, by large city standards). A typical one bedroom apartment will set you back around $850 a month, but even cheaper options can regularly be found outside of the city and in the suburbs. Food and utilities are no more expensive than any other city in the United States, and you never have to worry about an extra cold winter jacking up your heating bill.
Houston offers a variety of restaurants in almost any culinary genre you desire. From asian fusion to gourmet steakhouses to classic sports bars, you can find anything your heart desires (at least, food wise). Taste of Texas offers delicious American cuisine, and if you're looking for something a bit more southern, Brennan's of Houston imports its recipes straight from New Orleans. If you're looking for a freshly mixed stir fry, Heights Asian Cafe is a great locally-owned Chinese restaurant.
