Midland TX is growing very fast! It is located in West Texas, super hot, and in the heart of the oilfield. Midland is a great place for young people looking to find high paying jobs that have opportunities to promote quickly. It is hard for restaurants, grocery stores, & other retail businesses to stay staffed as many people work in the oilfield leaving these types of jobs unfilled. You can move here, work a lot of hours, gain tons of experience including management experience & save money. When you get ready to retire you have plenty saved and if you buy real estate you can sell it & have even more to help you live a great retirement. My husband is currently a restaurant mgr & I work as a hostess & am attending school to complete my BA in Technical Mngmnt with a major in Human Resources. We have purchased a beautiful home here & plan to use our equity as part of our retirement. If you believe in working hard & are looking for great opportunities then Midland is the place to move!
Midland, Texas is a interesting place, though there is not much to do there are so many people who befriend you while living here. It is a very involved community and there are great organizations here like: the Boys and Girls club, the YMCA, and Casa de Amigos, all of these wonderful non-profit organizations are what help the community stand out to others around them. Yes, before I did say that there were hardly things to do around her does not mean there is nothing to do, the fair comes around, going to the sporting events, like volleyball, soccer and lacrosse are what make coming to Midland so fun! It is so exciting to see young people work so hard in and out of school. One of the great things about Midland is how they strive to have a cleaner communtiy, like: Keep Midland Beautiful, but they do not just care about MIdland but there entire state: Don't mess with Texas, it is such a refreshing atomsphere.
Midland is an oilfield town that has grown exponentially in the last decade. The temperatures are hot, and rain is a rarity. The people are what make Midland so great. While there are people from around the world living here, Texans are just so nice and hospitable. The biggest complaint I hear is that there is nothing to do here. I disagree with this assessment as there are many things to do here. There is a drive-in theater, go cart track, art studio for the kids, swimming pools, Cynergy (a movie theater, laser tag, arcade games, and bowling), shopping, concerts, theater, and a host of other activities. I love the small-town feel of our growing community.
