Dr. Wife Out on the Job Town

It has been a rocky road for the soon-to-be-Dr. Wife on the old job front. Here's the snapshot:
  • Job interview and subsequent offer from a promising small company in Virginia. Company immediately purchased and everyone laid off.
  • Job interview in New Jersey scheduled. The next day, this gigantic company ate another gigantic company and called a hiring freeze to digest itself.
  • An old colleague in San Antonio working for a non-profit cancer firm called to set up an intview for her at his old job. Interview scheduled, all seems stable.
  • Monday morning, New Jersey called. It seems the company burped and made room for a few more essential employees (taste like chicken). So they flew her out that afternoon.
So this week she flew to Jersey, will interview for a day and a half, will fly to San Antonion, will interview for a day and a half, and will then fly home to get back to her 12 hour days writing the dissertation. It is wearing her out, but I will be surprised if this doesn't net her offers in Jersey and Texas.

So what say you, wise readers? Jersey, or Texas?

Personally, I'd go for Jersey. You'd be close to New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and even DC (not to mention all the other cool places on the East Coast). And as much as people like to make fun of NJ, it's a good place to live overall (with good state politics). On the other hand, in Texas, you'd be close to...well, lots of Texans.
