Since I just got back from a killer trip to RMNP, I've been perving jobs in Ft. Collins, Loveland, and Boulder for some reason.
Of course, I don't think I'd ever be comfortable settling anywhere other than the South, so Asheville would be my best case......
...... Music, culture, night life, so much climbing and biking, and someone has to step up and keep Geniush in line.
If you could live anywhere else besides close to the Red
yeah if you are used to a more city life Lander would probably be your undoing, Cody even worse unless you like ice climbing. If you do, then Cody is about as good a place to winter as anywhere.
The social life though is non-existent from sept - april
Those towns hibernate in the winter
Without the ice though, culture shock and boredom i.e. lot's of empty whisky bottles haha. Unless you really like nothing going on--
If you can hack it Las Vegas is pretty great as a climber home so close to so much

For the line of work I am in (civil & environmental engineering) Albuquerque would be my choice: http://www.rockclimbing.com/cgi-bin/rou ... New+Mexico

Are you limiting this to the US? If not, Aix en Provence is pretty damn nice. It's toasty in the summer, but with a few hours drive you can get up in elevation towards the Alps for summer climbing (and during the winter there's skiing). The beach isn't far away, and by 'beach' I mean the French riviera. When you feel like a road trip, your options include, oh, Spanish climbing areas like Siruana or maybe Switzerland or even Italy (decent climbing with great food!). And I hear the local wine is decent. 
(Not that I've given this much thought....)
For the US, I'd second considering Las Vegas. It is a kind of 'nothing' city, but there's work and it's central to a ton of climbing.
