I know this forum has some North Carolina based folks.

What part of NC are you in? I'm in the Triangle area (Raleigh area) Charlotte area is big too.

My real question is: Do you think you have a future here? or do you plan on re-locating? If so, where?

(BTW, We're not all rednecks, I swear :) )

NC is a pretty nice place to live, maybe it's just you.

I've been in NC all my life, and it is a nice place, but there is absolutely nothing to do.

Hey North Carolinians,
I'll be visiting Hickory in a couple of weeks. What should I do/Where should I go for fun things to do? (Within one hour's drive)

I live around the Outer Banks region, but not quite (a little north and west, on one of the sounds). And no, I don't have a future here, and I'm leaving as soon as I graduate in less than a month to Buffalo, for college ;)

Live in Omaha now, but off to UNC in the fall. Anything I should be aware of?

You'll be in Chapel Hill, so that's cool. Upper scale town and close enough to Raleigh to see the "city" :)

Charlotte. And I do think I have future here.

tweakmm, You must not be trying that hard if you can't find anything to do in this state.

Just Grad. from UNCW (Wilmington NC) and will be leaving the state. Seems like there is nothing here right now. Heck even SAS gets about 15000 resumes a month. So unless you are the cream of the crop and don't mind working for next to nothing then yea you can stay in NC.

Yea, I'm in Charlotte. Been here since 95 but I'm planning on moving back to VA as soon as possible. Job market is worse but at least it's scenic and has some outdoor activities close by (and it's a lot cheaper).

According to Forbes, Charlotte is actually doing pretty well in terms of jobs.

Wilmington in the His-ouse.

I thought I was the only one in town with a computer.

I've never met Katie Holmes but I did curse at James VanDerDork in a bar on night.

Considering UNC-Wilmington is in town, you probably are the only one with a computer. ;)

Just moved inside the SC line after a lifetime in Cleveland, Ohio, living now in a little town called Lake Wylie, maybe 20 miles south of the Queen City.
