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.

If you’ve lived in pretty much any major US city, Eugene’s homeless issues don’t seem that bad. Per capita doesn’t mean much when you have 170K population.
