Oceanside, California lives up to its name more than any other city. Just as snowdrifts are a Canadian trade mark, picturesque beaches are a staple of Oceanside living. It's not hard to see why people would move to such a beautiful and relaxed city, but finding work without knowing where to look can be harder than learning how to surf. Whether you're experienced with scalpels or strapping heads, here's some tips on where to apply your trade.
The biggest employer in the city is by far the healthcare industry. Servicing the cities of Oceanside, Vista, and Carlsbad, Tri-City Medical Center is a vital partner in the North Coastal San Diego region.

Employing approximately 2,850 people, there is clearly room for anyone with passion and experience in the health care field.
The next biggest employer in the city is the Oceanside Unified School District. Working like an online collaboration tool to provide students with the best education they can, the OUSD is made up of sixteen elementary schools, four middle schools, three high schools. With over 20,000 students enrolled and 2,300 people employed, the OUSD helps provide both a solid education and a steady career establishment for the community.
Oceanside isn't a place to shy away from new and exciting industries, however. A great example of this the Genica Corporation, better known as Geeks.com. Anyone who has worked for an SEM Toronto company would do well with this company, which sells discount computer hardware. Another interesting Oceanside company is Genentech, one of the country's leading biotechnology corporations which employs over 600 Oceansiders and 11,000 nationwide.
If you're looking for something a bit more conventional, both the retail and service sectors provide quick and easy employment for anyone with either limited or extensive experience in the field. The manufacturing industry, which employs hundreds of people in the area, is a great place for anyone with working knowledge of a pneumatic conveyor. For those looking for something a bit more exciting, the Oceans Eleven Casino, which employs 438 people, provides steady employment with an always interesting clientele.
Like any big city, Oceanside and surrounding areas are in need of public transportation. Thankfully, the North County Transit District helps get citizens in the North San Diego County get from point A to point B, while also employing over 550 Oceansiders as well. Anyone with transit experience couldn't ask for a better way to get to know the beautiful scenery of Oceanside and its Tri-City partners Vista and Carlsbad.
