Quality of LIfe

I too was drawn to Myrtle Beach for it's affordable housing and lack of snow. However if you are struggling as I am then forget it, you won't find a better life here. There are no "Quality" jobs and there is no health care. I've been looking for 6 months and I was reduced to taking a job with a company that offers minimum wage with no health care. On top on that they treat their employees like dirt. People work out in the hot sun for hours and when they do get their ONE break its outside in the heat. There isn't even a refrigerator to store their water or food. Oh sure the company lets them buy over priced unhealthy food provided to them on the premises [while making min. wage] but even that becomes impossible when it gets busy as the lines are long and our breaks are only 30 minutes. They also charge us to wear their uniform and the one that really slays me..they charge us for a cup of ice. As to health care..if you are single, no kids and can't afford health care you are SOL in SC. You are a tax libility and you deserve to die. I have never seen so many toothless people in one place in my life. On the news they call the first 100 days of summer in Myrtle Beach .. the one hundred days of death..this is in tribute to the number of drunk drivers on the road during this time. DON'T go out at night until September. And yes there are "Gentlemen Clubs" and areas known for prostitution. I currently live in affordable housing and I get to listen to the drunks every night. Ahh then there is the traffic.. glorious traffic.. the roads here a awful..no escape from it.. June to September.. lots and lots of traffic. Go south..go way north of Myrtle Beach [to NC at least it's a democratic state and there is hope]but whatever you do don't live in Myrtle Beach!!
