I get what you're saying, but re-read the OP. They are looking to CHANGE CAREER FIELDs, would you honestly recommend Charlotte as a good location to do that? No experience; no social network; higher than average unemployment rate. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me...
It doesn't sound like a wise thing to do. Of course, don't know what fields they are in, don't know what they are thinking about as far as a new career to pursue . . . but yes, even for those with a social network, business network, work experience and stellar educations . . . this is a tough time to find a job in this region. Without any of those support systems, it would surely be even harder . . . so I would not suggest this as being the best time for an adventure.
On the good side, they are young and it sounds like they don't have kids, so taking a risk now is probably a lot better than doing it after there are more folks in the family whose needs must be met.
Ok thanks for the suggestions! but from the posts ive justed read i assume everybody here at the public library using the free internet because everybody is homeless and unemployed? the whole city is in shambles huh? i understand if u trying to get a job making 45k to 60k year. ive applied on monster,careerbuilder, and craiglist. i see jobs maybe not the jobs your parents once retired from or jobs u wished for fresh out of college. sometimes i wonder who posting this stuff on theys forums? are u unemployed? are u homeless? are u hungry for food? people make NC sound really bad. i doubt its as bad ca,ny, or nj.

I believe you received some well informed responses. Don't move here without a job lined up. The spouse and I consider ourselves lucky to have jobs. Many, many well educated and experienced people are not so lucky. Good luck with your move.

No one lied to you. I asked you what kind of job, because I know of some businesses that will be opening. Instead, you lashed out because people didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. Don't bother to tell what you're looking for now, because I will not open the thread again. Good luck finding something.

Don't shoot the messenger (s)
We're here, you're not - which one of us really knows what's going on?
You basically insult everyone here who has taken the time to try to give you honest info, I point out that WE are the ones living here, WE are the ones who know how bad our job market is and all you can say is "huh"?
There's always a difference between honest and BIAS info (Don't shoot the messenger) huh? again im just speaking the TRUTH! and again i wonder who's the people behind the keyboard? so please dont attack me for being OPEN-MINDED! thats the whole purpose of the forum right?
