NC is interesting, can you recommend a city/neighbourhood? |
Don't bother living with what if's. If you family is supportive, and you fall flat on your face, they are your backup plan and you can re-evaluate. OR you can listen to the nay sayers, stay home, and miss out on some potentially awesome opportunities.
I lived in the Raleigh area. Cost of living was very affordable, there is a good amount of industry whether it be medical or industrial for different types of work. If you enjoy being outdoors, the mountains are about an hour or two away, and the ocean beach was about 2 hours the opposite way. I never planned on moving away from my home state of MI, but if I were to move back anywhere, I would probably try and find a way back to NC.
Good luck with your decisions and whatever route you end up choosing. Keep us all in the loop.
