Question

Can anyone tell me information about greenvile North Carolina and its surrounding areas?I am a single mother of 2 girls,one is biracial and the other is full black.What is the diversity there and how is the job market there?

Answer 1

I am going to school in Greenville in the fall, East Carolina University, and the diversity there is quite large so i am assuming the surrounding areas are the same. However if you dont want to put up with alot of young adults living the 'college lifestyle' this place may not be fore you. as for the job market if you have a degree i hear its fairly well. if it doesnt require a degree most college students prob have sweep it up

Answer 2
