and I note that days later, the OP essentially ignores (heck, they quoted but almost erased the paragraph) the basic question that I and others have posed ...
Perhaps because there's really no more implied obligation for them to tell you exactly what they do than there was for you to answer their actual question, which was only to ask for a show of hands of who agreed with them (not an analysis of their career, which would be off topic, officially). It's the Internet, not a perfect world of predictable and mandatory responses.
Not saying they should avoid responding to your question, just saying it's not really wise to expect them to when you didn't respond to theirs.
As far as the overall subject at hand, people should research the job prospects in a given area BEFORE moving there. Common sense. The city that has multiple offers waiting for you wants you more than the ones that haven't called you yet -- that's not exactly neurosurgery. Walk in unprepared like a stooge expecting the life of a king and you gets whats yas deserves (imagine a gum smacking sound as I say that).
If I had to guess, from saturn's previous posts, it's probably because his grandchildren are here.
You are correct.
This area can still be saved by a new legislature and by making development pay its own way.
If it's so great to come to NC, businesses worth getting would pay their own way instead of needing bribes.
Our area is getting too saturated and needs to stop growing. Now, the outer counties with high unemployment is where we need to attract good employers, auto plants instead of chicken processors.
It's a shame to see the overpaid yuppies infesting the area like they did in NYC and Long Island. These folks have too much money for their own good and don't blink at things like North Hills with crazy high rents for small apartments because the rents in their previous areas were already outrageous.
This is a national problem and we don't need to be sucked into it.

This was something I repeated several pages later. And you still didn't answer.

Another day, and the Beat Goes On, and on, and on, ad infinitum.
And since I know someone is going to say it... Yes, I did post another reply in this thread after I said I was going to "dip out". I guess you guys really showed me...
You're a snow tire salesman, aren't you? Or maybe an oceanographer or ski instructor? Otherwise I can't figure out why you've refused to share what job it is you seek.

If there's one thing I know about corporations, it is that they DEFINITELY do not "overpay" anyone. Sure, the top execs might make what seems like rather obscene salaries, but please don't walk around thinking that IBM is paying a penny more for a middle manager or a developer than they have to.
And those people are the very "overpaid yuppies" you love to go ON AND ON about.
It's ridiculous. They are white collar workers in the private sector. Of COURSE their salaries seem like too much money to someone who retired as a state employee.
But, you cannot substitute your idea of fair wages onto the job market and will it to be so.
Some jobs in some fields just pay more than others. It's what the field demands for companies to be competitive with one another.
A good many of the people you think are "overpaid yuppies" were born and raised right here in NC.

It all depends on the industry. If the Original Poster is a repo specialist than Raleigh probably isn't a great place to find a job because all the white collar workers taking out auto loans can easily afford their payments.
