Well, there are a lot of varables in there hoss. Any of those jobs can be found in abundance here, but you're probably looking at a median pay scale with only a BA. The cost of housing out here is outrageous, but that's what you get with a year-round mild climate.
Here's a link to some local jobs^clicky^
If you want to come out and check it out personally, you're welcome to stay in my house and we'll take you around some areas to look at houses, prices, conditions, jobs, etc. That will at least save you hotel costs and give you local contacts. Of course, open desert shooting complete with Tannerite and BBQ is a compulsory activity, as is beer, but we might just squeeze in a few tours, too
If you just want to put out feelers, send me your resume and which corporations you'd like it to go to, and I'll fax it out to anyone you'd like. My fax has free long distance, so even if you are looking out of my area it won't be a problem and will save you a ton in fax costs. I don't have any personal contacts in marketing/sales, but I do have some friends in LE - everything from patrol to series 1811. With your military background (I can assume an RA-1 214, yes? If it's RA-1 jobs will be looking for you with a SF designator), there might be some LE positions you could do that don't carry the physical requirements patrol does. Something to think about.
I'm willing to help any possible way I can, bro. I'll shoot you a PM with my phone numbers, as we can talk more details verbally than we can in text.
I'd start with the AZcentral link for jobs I posted above.
For housing, I have dealt with Greg Swann at Bloodhound Realty and he is good people. His number is 602.740.7531
The Avila son is also a local realtor, so hitting him with a PM might prove informational.
Another fantastic realtor is Patti or Jeff Davis at 1st USA. 480.222.3030, and ask for either of them. Tell then Richard Halliwell from Meyer properties sent you. They WILL treat you right! I do property management, and they are my exclusive realtors.
Essentially, the opportunities exist where you make them. You can probably do better job-wise and housing-wise outside of AZ (finacially speaking), but you can't beat our political climate and the people here. Shall issue state, class 3 friendly, wide reciprocation with neighboring states, and open desert shooting. Plus, I don't know what the temp is where you are at, but it's a beautiful 78 here. I went out shooting with friends Wednesday, and after 13 hours of automatic weapons, tannerite, BBQ, and the best conversation to be had, I returned home sunburnt!
I'll be away from the phones until 1300 today, but feel free to call me anytime after that. If you have an area in mind but don't want to take a trip out here, let me know and I'll take some digital pics and email them to you. Like I said, anything I can do to help. Fax, pics, a place to stay, contacts, whetever.
IM inbound.
