It's alright..it's right in my lane and it pays very well. I'm supposed to be based in DC but I'm being allowed to keep my residence in NC for the time being but the traveling is bordering on excessive.. I'm gonna be here for a couple weeks and then I'm heading to Riyadh. Yay.

The silver lining is that you're still able to enjoy yourself once you get your primary adult sized duties out of the way. I'm sipping on some Jameson, catching up on my shows from last week, with my daughter knocked out sleeping on my chest. All is well for now.

Glad your doing well. Sounds like it's a lot.

i did. it was different for employment, i came down here for a teaching program, similar to teach for america. I didn't have a job until the summer ended, but I knew that was the case. I trained in the program and did not get paid. i made it off like 4k for my living expenses

There's plenty of jobs here. I sub leased a furnished apartment from a college student over the summer at UNCC for my first place. good short term solution. cheap and you don't need furniture or a bed or anything. I was like 24-25 though

For me I’m bringing my family down there me, the wife and my two boys.

Problem I have is, I know no one down there. I have some very, very distant family in Carolina. Every gig I have had even the IT gig I’m working now. I garnered through my network.

I have to start building my intercontinental network, now.

You from Detroit?

I'm sure there's some IT jobs here. This city is expanding like crazy. There's always cranes downtown. Plenty of businesses and industry.

If you don't know anybody you can holla at me. I got a wife and 2 sons as well.

Yea man there's parks everywhere. Free splash parks. Get 80 degree days into october. Uptown is small and walkable. I don't know how old your kids are but the libraries are on point, they have a good children's museum. Carowinds (like cedar point) is down here with a water park.

There's mountains 45 minutes away. Multiple beaches 3.5 hours away. Charleston is 3.5 hours away. Savannah is 3-4 hours away. ATL is 4 hours. Gatlinburg is 3.5 hours away


Whole lot of detroiters here. My neighbor when I stayed in an apartment was from the D. I moved into a crib and my next door neighbor is from the D lol.

City is clean, safe. The hoods don't even look like hoods. They're clean. You can move around with peace of mind.

I'm from Detroit too schoolcraft and Southfield

I saw you post in the Lions thread. That's why I asked about Detroit
