In SC, Charleston is the only place I would look, but it's damn expensive, and since you aren't "from there" you will struggle to fit in.

Greenville SC is not bad, a little more progressive than most of SC.  Half way between Charlotte and Atlanta.  Booming business environment.

But besides that, the only other good things in South Carolina are fireworks and cheap gas.

Thanks LP! But how do I go about applying for jobs? Do they do phone interviews? That's what I'm most worried about is actually going about applying to get these jobs. It's not like I'm some hot shot executive that a company would go after.

You should look for jobs in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte with local television stations that need someone with your skills. The media markets here are pretty competitive.

Also, look at home prices in the region. In the cities, prices are good with a steady market, in the neighboring towns the prices are just wonderful compared to Yankeeland.

And culture shock isn't going to be a problem if you can remember one important thing: We really don't care how you did it back home... if it was so good, you wouldn't have left. Really, this one is majorly important.

If this has already been said my bad but Greeneville SC is a nice spot.  90 mins between Atl and Char and close to the mtns and quick drive to the coast. You are close to so many places under 2 hrs its not funny. Great little downtown and art and music scene.

Make checks payable to pstall, that's 2 L's..

Raleigh/Durham area is great for jobs. Research Triangle Park is a hotspot for bio and tech companies (perhaps of interest). The area continually pops up on lists of best places to live with companies like SAS and Redhat which are some of the top sought after employers.

We had a pretty nice apartment in Morrisville (RTP) in 2010 2 bedroom for like $800/mo. Probably a bit pricier now.  We live in Raleigh now and love it.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
