Known for it’s healthful climate, Arizona attracts many people not only looking for healthy living, but temperate weather, beautiful natural surroundings, and a rich cultural history. Home to the Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest National Park, the ancient cliff-dwellings, and a thriving artistic community, Arizona provides much in the way of outdoor adventures and culture alike. With gorgeous sunsets and the highest number of golf courses per capita, there is always something to see or do in Arizona.
The economy in Arizona is holding its own with an unemployment growth slower than the national average and a minimum wage set based on standards of living and running higher than the national minimum wage. These indications promise the potential for making a livable wage in Arizona. Certain career fields show higher than average promise for growth and include jobs in the education, tourism, government, mining, and transportation industries.
Earning an education in one of these fields is possible at one of the many Christian universities and Bible colleges located in Arizona. Not only can higher education provide an opportunity to establish a solid foundation for a successful career in Arizona, but the education can also be based in an environment where classes and extracurricular activities have a Christ-centered approach. Two such schools include Southwestern College, which offers a conservative Baptist education in a small campus setting, and Grand Canyon University, which provides a non-denominational Christian education with offerings of both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in a variety of fields of study.
