Bros, find the thread on USA Visit Visa or contact that user FAST-LINK... On Nairaland, he got loads of information for you if you are lazy to read.

Happy New Year

mikkyangel: OjDollars,
Nice one there, i actually had this information last year December(when i landed yanky for good)..Infact,my friend who came to pick me at the airport ,in Baltimore Maryland had just relocated to Baltimore 24hrs earlier. He had spent 3good yrs in Newyork and things were pretty tight even though he had 2 jobs. He relocated to Maryland baltimore because he was to start the said Job the following week..

Within 5months on this Job, my friend had bought 2 cars(Toyota Camry 2003, which he used for 3months and shipped to n9ja), and Toyota camry 2007 model which he currently uses.In all this, he still sends money constantly to his siblings and parents back home...wow, i love this Job, 4days on ,3days break.. $17 per hour(normal working time) and $25 per hour over time..Another Good thing about this job is that you can be as old as 50yrs and yet you will be employed..I saw so many Nigerian(papa with them uniforms on)..The enrolment exams forthis jb is easier than primary 6 G2, funny thing is they employ Africans the most.

"But if you ask me, its quite a dangerous job i must say",

@mikkyangel ... Every Job in America is dangerous... No risk no reward, is better to go out there trying to go to your Job when you hear a Lion is outside, than to remain indoor frightened over a story told of a Lion on the street and give an excuse for not being able to go to your job. Is better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all our lives. Bros, I dey feel you ooh, but that Job een, na the way you take package yourself with the inmate sometimes nai dey make am dey less risky or more risky. Anyhow, there must be a way... Where you dey reside for US? Make we connect.

adexkem: Thank you sir. I have to make more finds before i jump the gun. Cos my wife and i are making something close to that for now. I would not want to make a decision i will regret. Please update me when you get the fact while i also source for information on my own. Again, is it not possible for me to join correctional officer in illinois where i leave ? Please help me with any info that could be of help

@Adexkem... Make una do relocate come Texas... IL... is a very dangerous place, especially Chicago... Those Mexicans or Latinos een nor dey smile there. But anyway, no place is left out in gun violence in America. But I'm sure that in Texas, you will have less cost on Accommodation, feeding, transportation, gas, peaceful life, higher income and a better job. No one ever come to Texas focus that has regretted it. If you're not law abiding, is then you can leave Texas on Probation when you come for Vacation...

Bros, u obviously think am as poverty-minded as you are. . . I would just allow you dwell in the misery of your thoughts and ignore you. . . .

PS: Unlike you, I don't broadcast where I've been to cos I don't see it as an achievement. . .

The 5 Best Cities for Your Career in 2013

Print

By Alida Moore, PayScale.com

If you are considering moving to a new city, it might be smart to factor wage and employment potential into your city choice. But how do you know which cities are thriving and which are struggling?

To find out, we consulted online salary database PayScale.com. The PayScale Index analyzes wage growth by metro area. Katie Bardaro, Director of Analytics at PayScale, told us which industries are growing. "IT, biotech, and oil and gas are all seeing significant growth," Bardaro explains. "All three industries are experiencing increased demand for their products and services, which means they are hiring and paying accordingly," she says.

Which cities came out on top? Read on to find out more about the places in the U.S. that enjoy a relatively low unemployment rate and relatively high wage growth.

5. Seattle
Unemployment Rate: 7.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.1 percent

The Emerald City is well-known for its presence in the world of tech. The overly caffeinated workers in this city enjoy careers in IT, aerospace and software development. Popular jobs in Seattle include program manager, IT, senior finance manager, technical program manager and aerospace engineer.

4. Minneapolis
Unemployment Rate: 5.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.2 percent

Minneapolis enjoys an economy that thrives on manufacturing, including electronics, medical equipment, and machinery. Popular jobs in Minneapolis include actuary, senior business manager, project manager, marketing and category manager.

3. Boston
Unemployment Rate: 5.9 percent
Wage Growth: 3.3 percent

Living in one of America’s oldest cities, Boston workers enjoy careers in healthcare, biotechnology and finance. Popular jobs in Boston include principal scientist, principal software engineer, research scientist and research associate.

2. Dallas
Unemployment Rate: 6.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.5 percent

Known for big hair and bigger lifestyles, this Texas city specializes in telecommunications, defense and technology. Popular jobs in Dallas include landman, radio frequency engineer, senior recruiter, and tax accountant.

1. Houston
Unemployment Rate: 6.3 percent
Wage Growth: 3.9 percent

The largest city in Texas is home to many industries, including aeronautics and healthcare. Healthcare is growing due to the increasing population. As the population ages, more healthcare services are needed. The biggest boom, though, is oil and gas, which has had the most positive impact on wages in Houston. Popular jobs in Houston include petroleum engineer, petroleum geologist, geophysicist and drilling engineer.
