Review of Charleston, West Virginia


bad job market
Star Rating - 8/10/2007
Other then the bad job market , Charleston is a good place to live. There very few young people , because they have all left for work. I am looking to leave also , I will miss the mountains, 4 seasons , and the laid back life that is so accustomed to West Virginians. I tried to make it here after college , it's been 5years since I graduated , and I still make a real low salary. In my profession I can't make 10-20 thousands of dollars more working in towns where the cost of living is comparable to Charleston. So I guess i am going to say bye to the mountains, so I can become middle class instead of working poor. By the way , you will hear West Virginians say that 8-10 dollars an hour jobs are good paying. sad huh:(....

It is really ridiculous to try to make it in Charleston. I don't think it is a good place for human beings, Charleston is light years behind the rest of the country in attitude and education. What is good about lousy housing conditions and no culture?
