Stay away from the SW. A lot of people like it because of the scenery and open spaces, but for the most part, humans have made horrible decisions in building towns and cities out there - everything is spread out, the roads are all ten lanes across, there seem to be too many cops...
I like the DC area, but that's where I from. It does have the best overall economy in the country, probably. I'm sure it is in the top 5 markets for engineering type positions (NASA, all the research facilities like NIH, NIST is huge and it's all engineers, NSA, Johns Hopkins applied physics lab, military and govt contractors, etc)
Chicago seemed decent, but the weather sucks.

funny that no one has mentioned new york.
u should look into rochester, ny. i went to college there.
it's not the biggest city in america, but i think it's like the second or third biggest in new york state. it's reeeeeeeaaaalllllyyyy nice there. lots of money, lots of colleges, an aged counterculture, lots of coffee shops and art galleries, lots of asians, asian food, a really good symphony, and lots of outdoors stuff to do (out in the suburbs it's BEAUTIFUL). there is a suburb called mendon ponds or something, and wow. the place is like an elf village out of a book, with streams and bridges going through everyone's backyards n stuff. it's sort of like jersey.
check out the mushroom house in one of rochester's suburbs.

Minneapolis is very nice but if you are into smoking it might be hard to find anything. I just know this from hearing about how much you have to pay. Minneapolis is a very cool city. I like St.Louis but I am weird like that.

I tend to find the people around DC pretty pretentious. It always seems like everyone is boasting about how politically connected they are, or their most recent uber-in-depth-cultural experience, or how professional they are etc. etc.
Dramatically different from nearby Baltimore, which has much more blue-collar roots.

Texas is it's own region bro. And it's badass here. As long as you live in the city.

In fact, just stay out of Texas altogether.
Maybe I'm not picking up on your sarcasm; but I also live in Dallas, and it's a pretty cool city. Good people, good drugs. Big enough city to have tons of variety. 
Though if you're a pessimistic introvert who never gets outside, anywhere is going to suck. You can't run from yourself.

Except that he's an engineer, so I would absolutely suggest California. Silicon Valley is where the jobs are at. That or Seattle.

CANADA
preferably BC
Avoid Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan is ok if you can get over the fact that every place in that province has the weirdest names ever.
Well if you wanna make a lot of dough, I guess you could come to Alberta but beware the assholes, their everywhere 
and WTF happened to awesketch? That was like the best gremlin thinggy.

I'd rather live in Vancouver then Calgary, it all depends though on the person. If you like hill billy stuff like rodeos and country music then go for Calgary.

I don't know who is telling you Calgary is better than Van 
Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are the only cities worth living in in Canada.
