Engineering jobs in SE United States

[DH]

Hi,

 

The wife and I are considering a move to a warmer climate region such as Florida, South Carolina...etc. Can anyone comment on mechanical engineering job opportunities near ski communities in the south east?

 

Thanks

I'm a mechanical engineer working in Pensacola, Florida. There aren't a ton of options around here, but there does seem to be quite a few in the Orlando/Tampa area. It will probably have to do more with what kind of work you want to do. South Carolina has some auto plants, as well as Alabama. You could always move to Orlando and get a job with Nautique. That is what I was going to do when I was a kid. I guess I still have time.

I wanted to, BJ wants a district engineer there, but the wife says no :'(

What salary would I need to live in a house like wards out there?

Come to the Houston area, plenty of oil and aerospace opportunities! And, you can live on a private ski lake!!! :-)

Prices are down right now. There is a house or two on a lake that can be had for a steal right now.

Lots of engineering jobs in Houston...

follow that link. I think that $409 is WAY off & that lake skis awesome + great folks.

This lot is also on a killer lake

$400k and up I assume to live like that? So would need to have a combined income close to $200k to be comfortable. maybe $180k and a truck.

Only 20 minutes to the office from there too, hmmm more tempting! Is it a hot humid environment there like where I am now --> http://maps.google.com/maps?q=28.491143,-100.107477&num=1&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=23.875,57.630033&ie=UTF8&ll=28.486195,-100.117722&spn=0.256191,0.502281&z=12

Just got an offer back in Boston after 2 years of funemployment. Gotta move away from the lake house, but at least now I can afford gas. Anyone up for a summer's worth of pulls outside of the hub?
