How to jump start a career in Human Resources in Houston Texas? How to jump start a career in Human Resources in Houston Texas? I have an MBA in Human Resources and MIS (Management Information Systems), BA in psychology. Only 4 months of experience as an HR admin (temporary assignment) and 2.5 years of experience in QA for a medical device company (just quitted the job because they wanted me to work second shift and decided to stay home with my two year old baby). It has been HARD for me to get a job in HR in Puerto Rico because they all ask for at least 3 years in HR. My husband and I are thinking that we could relocate to Cypress, TX. He is a power plant engineer and I am sure he will find a job but ...Do I stand a chance in Houston Texas or should I quit my interests and stay at home with my two year old? It is NOT easy being a mom and pursue a dream career! Do you think it is the end road for me and I have wasted my time with an MBA? Please advise and be sincere.

What do you use to combat the famous Houston area mosquitoes? My situation is we are unable to enjoy our swimming pool with out being attacked. I have tried off, but it only washes away in the pool. I have tried teaki torches and citronella candles, but have found that you have to stay right beside them or they are not very effective. I was wondering if any one knew of some sort method, being spray or powder to spray or sprinkle in all the landscaping to deter them from my back yard? Or any other suggestions. Please keep in mind that I do have a small dog so this magical cure would need to be pet friendly. I don’t know if this a problem shared around the Houston area or if it is just in The Woodlands because of all the wooded areas.
