I certainly think that SC needs to work on its education system quite a bit, but I also feel that a contributing factor is the mindset of many South Carolinians. Many are content with receiving a mediocre salary/hourly wage and working a skilled labor job until they are retirement age. I agree with burr that its a cultural thing. Many South Carolinians are just content with the way things have been done and aren't necessarily interested in change.

Disclaimer: That is a broad statement and I certainly don't think that this applies to everyone in SC. This is in no way downing SC as I am a happy lifelong resident of 24 years and expect to be here many more.

Does anyone know if getting a job with the university is difficult?

Getting hired by UC San Diego can be pretty tough, so I'm curious how it is with Carolina...

Sorry, I should have clarified.

A staff position, preferably temporary, for the summer. In marketing, communications, development, writing, etc.

Work/study would be perfect for fall.

Thanks.

I'd recommend you contact them now; that's short notice for what amounts to an apprenticeship.

A Columbia-area manufacturer is adding 410 jobs over the next five years. Haier, a China-based appliance manufacturer, is investing $72 million dollars and creating the jobs.

And, hopefully, an entire staff, including new administrative assistants, waterboys, etc...
