Life's a Dream
My wife and I have been discussing uprooting our lives in PA, leaving everything behind and going out to somewhere else. We don't have anything set (and we may very well stay here), but the idea of Arizona popped into my head, so I want to investigate it a bit.
My wife found out there's a nice Japanese culture in Phoenix, so she's interested in that. But I was wondering about other things.
What's the job market like out there? I'm currently a VP at my family business, so I can't expect anything like that, but I'm wondering what type of places are out there.
How about hospitals? My wife is a nurse, so would want a new job as a nurse.
Is it family friendly? Our daughter will be 4 in January, and we've been debating having a 2nd child.
How is the area, crime related? We're in a fairly peaceful part of PA, even though it's close to Philly, but there's very little "big" crime. Minor theft and shit, but that's about the extent of it.
Lastly, what's the weather like on a yearly basis? Temperatures, humidity, rainfall... does it ever snow? Anything really. I just want info. Is Arizona one of the areas that has to worry about flash fires all the time, the way Cali and Utah do?
Oh yeah, regarding Pets: We have a pitbull. I know some cities have breed specific legislation saying pits are off limits, so I'm wondering if that area is one of them.
