Work Situation in the USA
Hey,
I hold a US passport already through my Parents. I'm currently in the process of finishing off my business degree and have experience in Direct Sales and Engineering.
Whats the work situation like in NY or would Houston be a better bet.
I'm 25.

I hear rocket scientists are in demand in Houston. You should be fine.

Well I'll be honest, you have some competition but if looking for a job here, I would definitely take a vacation to where you have relatives living in the U.S. because I hear employers are not very flexible with holding interviews to people who are not within short flying distance

However, we may be the exception rather than the norm.
But Chris' advice is good: give yourself all the chances you can. It's a tough job market, and it's not going to get much easier anytime soon...

Off topic, but have you registered with Selective Service, http://www.sss.gov
They won't accept registration after you turn 26.
