the salaries here are NOWHERE near where you are currently living. It doesn't matter what you were working as. I found the benefits suck also. No sick pay either. If you don't show up for work, no pay. At least in the field I was working in. Everyone has to take a drug test too. As for where to live, I live in the "middle", but when I go to say, Chatham, I find it much more countryish, roads seem wider, houses further apart. But, many, many more oak trees. Nice for shade in the summer, but a total headache in the fall/winter. Very messy trees with leaves/acorns, and beware of the "suckers" that come up through the grass from the hidden acorns in the lawn. Back breaking work if you want to keep your lawn looking nice. But, the villages is still the best place to live.
