Fantastic place to raise a family. Very good place if you are a couple w/o kids and are active and enjoy the outdoors. Not too good of a place if you are young and single, its a little slow for that. 2 hours from Tahoe, Reno, San Francisco and the coast. 4 hours from Yosemite and Monterey Bay. Plenty of jobs but only if you are well networked, not like SF bay area or So Cal.

Fine. Rather boring, though.

The best job in Sac is probably an engineer or Doctor (EMT etc)

It's a lot better than a lot of other places I know of (and I suspect a lot of places of similar size that I know little or nothing of). The steadiest jobs are government at all levels (city, county, state, fed). There's a decent mix of high tech and light manufacturing and retail, too. Some of the nicer areas and surrounding 'burbs & commutes include: McKinley Park, East Sac/River Park, Land Park, So. Land Park, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Roseville, Folsom, & Davis. There's decent bus & rail transit if you wanna get out of your car. Great biking and hiking along the beautiful American River Parkway and river recreation on the American & Sac rivers. Mild climate most of the year. I suppose it may not be the most "exciting" place, esp if you're young, single & seeking diversity, variety, bohemian "culture" and the like. But it's an easy commute by car or Amtrak to SF & the rest of the Bay Area and other attractions like Tahoe, the wine country and the redwoods.
