From the posts I think I've gathered that it will be difficult but not impossible for jobs and also that NCSU is the way to go for tech. Thanks for the help.

Hi - I'm a recent transplant from the UK myself (about 18 months now) and am working with a software company. My situation is different, as I moved here as a part of setting up a new US office. If you don't have the Visa challenges, this isnt a bad place to be
Of course, it is all relative - your age, depending on where in the UK you used to live (I was in London), will all help with getting used to the lifestyle here. However, I am not seeing a massive recruitment drive going on - there are jobs out there, but as other people have said, the desperation of the unemployed means that the employers have more options when recruiting - and therefore are going for experience to decide. (the flip side to this argument is that less experience = cheaper of course)
Definately have a look, but if you can study while you're here and can support yourself without a local income for a while, it's certainly something to consider!
Good luck
