Don't move to WV or change what you are looking for.

Oh boy, where to start?
Alice! You don't mince words! I like that!
Brianna, You want to move to a rural area and commute about a half hour or hour to work if you want cheap rent and a job. Morgantown, Huntington or Charleston are your best bets for jobs in the area you are looking for. Maybe someone else will chime in here if I'm wrong?

Sharedspirit is right.
Brianna, Take no offense by AliceT. She's on a mission to keep WV as it is so scares off "outsiders".

Make sure to check out the Huntington area. Forbes rated it as having the best cost of living in the nation and there are several factories here as well as a lot of construction projects going on in the area with more planned. Let me know if you need any specifics and I'll help any way I can.

Remember that there is often an inverse relationship between "cheapness" and "opportunity". Low cost of living often means there is not a lot of opportunity in an area. One smart thing to do if cost is a real issue is to locate in a relatively low cost area that is near a higher cost, more prosperous area. That way you can have greater employment opportunity and still keep the costs down. Fairmont is such a town. The cost of living is relatively low there, but it is near the towns of Clarksburg and Morgantown where there is greater job opportunity.

I agree with CT. Living in a low cost area, near a high cost area is the way to go!  That's what i'm doing. |
