Fort Worth is a great place to work. If you can't find a job in Fort Worth (which is unlikely) you still have Dallas or the mid-cities. The school districts are generally good in the suburbs. The people are a conservative group and generally friendly bunch. There are plenty of amusment parks and water parks including some in residential areas. Housing is quite cheap compared to the rest of the country. If you are moving here from somewhere else you will love what your money can buy.
Now the negatives. The traffic is terrible. And, as a result the air quality is terrible. No discernable public transportation system except between fort worth downtown and Dallas downtown. There is very little in the way of outdoor activity. No mountians or oceans nearby. We are the 8th fattest city in the nation because of lack of activity. The weather is extreme. It is boiling hot in the summer and we get freezing cold in the winter. This is allergy central-more allergist per capita than anywhere else. If you have allergies to anything you will feel worse here.
