Well, there's good news and bad news...

The bad news is, good paying jobs are hard to come by.

The good news is, the only real jobs to be had are in the tourist trades or in the MEDICAL FIELD. So, since you are a CNA you may just luck up.

The other bad news, however, is that rents are not cheap, you may need to find a roommate.

Here is the info to the local hospital if you want to start your job search there:

Mission St Joseph Hospital
445 Biltmore Ave
Asheville, NC 28801
(828) 213-8770

I have a few friends who live is Asheville and it sound like you will find the quality of life you are looking for, however; I have heard the job market there is pretty tight. CNAs are in pretty high demand though, so you still might still be able to find a job relatively easy.
