Below Average Quality of Life

2/16/2012
My family and I moved here 9/2010 and thought Raleigh to be the ideal place to start a career and raise a family. Big Mistake. I have a Bachelors Degree in Finance and am still looking for a job in my field. I've had few interviews but not one offer. I now work in a restaurant, which is where I don't want to be. However, because I have to pay the bills, this is what I must do. The people here are distant and rude and do not like anyone not from the South. I find the people drive without caution. My wife can't find a decent job either. People here don't open up to you. I lived in FL for 31 years and thought NC would be a more prominent state, but I was wrong. I still can't believe you have to pay property tax on your own car. Overall, this was an expensive and costly move. We were thinking about Asheville, but think the grass is no greener there. We'll have to relocate as our funds are running low. We can't make ends meet, so we must move to a more suitable city and state. Sorry, but this is not the place for newcomers trying to raise a family.
