New Beginning For El Paso, TX

El Paso, TX is a city that is usually looked down upon compared to other Texas cities like Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. But what many people don't understand is that El Paso has ranked number 1 as one of the safest cities in the United States even though we are right next to one of the most violent cities in the world. El Paso has so much potential when it comes to young enthusiastic El Pasoans like myself, but the job market here is not the best. When it come to Tech jobs it is really hard to find one and it was ranked in last place on PCworld magazine. El Paso needs to stop importing call centers because those types of jobs don't guarantee job security and they pay low wages. They need to start focusing on investing in small businesses so that we create the jobs of the future here instead of focusing on businesses that might not be there for us in the future. But El Paso has started to do some revitalization in downtown to attract new businesses and it recently did away with city hall to make way for a brand new triple A baseball stadium and it also demolished the ASARCO smokestacks that were so popular with El Pasoans to make that real estate land available for future businesses or maybe a theme park. This city is going in the right direction and it needs to concentrate on bringing new things so that its residents could be proud of it.
