1. Are there fulltime jobs readily available in the Aiken area for clerical workers?
2. Do most full time jobs include employer-sponsored health insurance?
3. Is it possible to rent a trailer or apartment in the area with no recent credit history?
4. How do you think a native Brit and a native Wisconsinite would fare there? (Hint, we're both white, teetotalers, non-smokers and Baptist, however - the wife has tattoos from a distant before-being-saved past)

Evey below is a very nice lady and she has a lot of information on that area as she's a transplant to Aiken and one of its strongest supporters
EuroMark makes a very good point about building credit in the USA, and honestly, he's right... a lot of people will give you a break simply because you come across well and honest.
As for the tattoo...
Lord have Mercy....! Um...oh well, even my 65 year old mother has tribal tattoos around her ankles from a stint sailing in the Marquesa Islands... I think the people of North Carolina can handle it
Good luck! You're picking a beautiful state to move to!
