College grad to NC? (Raleigh, Durham: find a job, safe area, universities)

[jmoo08]

Hi everyone. I am set to graduate from college in a few months, and have decided that Raleigh/Durham area is the ideal place for me to move to. I will have a bachelors in Psychology, but I am not really sure if I want to continue to pursue a career in this field. I wanted to know if this would be a good move for me. Will it be difficult for me to find a job in the area? Is it overall a safe area? Any advice/comments would be helpful! Thanks!

With three major universities in the area, every year there is a flood of recent graduates into the marketplace. It can be very tough competition unless you are in a highly specialized field.

I would not recommend moving, until you have a position lined up, as it can sometimes take quite some time before you find a good job.
