Thank ya'll so much for your advice! ADPIUCF, I was thinking about getting that Suze Orman book "Young, Broke, and Fabulous" . . . which is the category I fit in. LOL! I am young. I am broke. I most certainly think I am fabulous!

The bad thing is, I did move/relocate to a stronger job market . . . or at least I thought so. In comparison to where I was living (about 30 minutes away from Charlotte, NC), Greenville, SC does have a stronger job market than the Charlotte, NC area. Shocking I know. All Charlotte, NC is a bunch of banks (well, it is the second banking city of the USA) and insurance companies . . . neither of which I was even remotely interested in. I would be more miserable in banking and insurance than at Target.

As of right now, I am going back to school at Greenville Technical College and taking some night classes and internet classes. I am getting my Associate of Arts in Paralegal Studies and second Bachelor's in Pre-Law. I want to be a lawyer and screwed around the first time through undergraduate studies. In turn, I didn't make the stellar grades I should have so I am trying to rectify that situation. Greenville Tech has the best Paralegal Studies degree/certificate in SC. So, I am kind of tied to where I am living. I don't mind relocating when I finish my degrees. That's NOT a problem. I want to be an entertainment lawyer so I know I have to move to NYC, Nashville, or LA.

I know the Upstate area has an organization called SCUPA (South Carolina Upstate Paralegal Association). They meet the second Thursday of the month at 12:30 pm in The Poinsett Club. It's time to get my hiney into going to those meetings. The next meeting is June 9, 2005.

Thanks again for all of your help so far! Keep the advice and encouragement coming! I feel like I have a new start with the job search because I was getting all bogged down in the resume writing and mailing and interviewing process and letdowns.
