With an incredible sweeping and diverse Midwestern landscape, Illinois is bursting with beauty, fun, harrowing activities and good old-fashioned Midwestern hospitality. Illinois is the gateway (or if you would like, the final stop) on the famed Route 66. The ancient path winds its way through the heart of the country towards California and Illinois has a long stretch of the famed road that you won’t soon forget. You may think you have to drive all the way to California along Route 66 to get luscious tasting wine. Guess again. In Illinois wine country, consisting of 193 vineyards and 70 wineries, the unique and delicious taste of Midwestern wine is right at hand. Experience it all when you take an OT job in Illinois.

You can not talk about the state of Illinois without bringing up the amenities that the state’s largest city, Chicago, brings. Truly a world class city, Chicago is probably best known for its blues, pizza and sports teams and fans. The Windy City brushes up against Lake Michigan and provides everything one would expect from a coastline city and one of the world’s largest cities all rolled into one.
