What is it like living in Eugene? Moving

My wife might be getting a high paying healthcare job in Eugene, so we are curious what it is like to live there. I have a background in education (direct instruction, academic site management, higher ed). I'm open to other career paths, as the job prospects worry me a bit.

We also want to know how it is to live there. We lived in az for most of our lives. We've been in Texas (DFW) for 3 years. Any insight is appreciated.

Well yeah, manufacturing around here. Sometimes west Eugene smells funky. I am being completely sincere when I say I love it, but I won’t lie about the bad.

Ya know, I haven't seen a what's that smell post in a while. But then I haven't been lurking as much lately either.
