Getting a feel of job opportunities for veterans and full time students

How’s the job market out there? I’m currently looking to relocate from Las Vegas and hoping to find a workplace that is genuinely veteran-friendly.
I’ve found that having military service on my résumé can sometimes come with assumptions or stigma, so I’m especially interested in veteran-owned businesses or employers that value the experience, leadership, and work ethic veterans bring.
More than anything, I’m looking for a positive work environment where people are respected and given the opportunity to grow. If anyone knows of veteran-owned or veteran-friendly companies that are hiring, I’d really appreciate the recommendations.

Looking for 3rd spaces to meet new people and make new friends.

21m . Ive been looking throughout the subreddit and seen the whataburger chess on Wednesday at 7 and was considering going. I’m curious if there’s any other good places where there is people to meet or communities to join. Bars aren’t really my scene but I’m not super opposed to going. I go to several different parks but I’m up for any suggestions to find anything to do around here.

Anyone late night motorcyclists?

I ride at night usually between 10pm to 5am. Mainly cause I work night shifts in Austin, and try not to flip my schedule. Anyone out then? Just looking for people to hang out with.

Anyone down to play tennis?

Chess Club every Wednesday @ 7

Hello, I frequently see posts on here looking for third spaces or people to hang out with, I thought I'd mention that there's a chess club that meets at the Whataburger on Trimmier every Wednesday at 7. They've been doing this for like, 30 years, so they're not going anywhere. Everybody here is very nice, very respectful, and of varying ages. I bring my 3 kids. Even if you don't know how to play, we'd be happy to teach. If you do know how to play, there are some very experienced folks here who can show you some cool tricks. It's a ton of fun, hope to see you here!

Dire need of friends.

Been a hermit for years. Not a fan of being hit on. Just looking for drinking buddies, or ppl to go out to bars or play pool every once in awhile. Not looking for relationships or sex. Just let me exist peacefully.​
