Comments on Summerville, South Carolina
Do you have any advice on where is the best place to find jobs? I'm an administrative assistant and my husband is a pipe fitter by trade. I want to move to the Carolinas for the beauty, the weather, and different pace of life, but I'm terrified of not being able to find work. Any advice you have to give would be greatly appreciated!
