Which is why I pay $100 for 100. Definitely a ripoff, but if I don’t the next tier is 50 for $80.

lol. we pay $10 for 10/1 but the next tier is $50 for 5/1 XD

That doesn’t even make any mathematical sense.

since we have kids in school our ISP gives us “fast” and “reliable” internet at a low cost since its basically (not really) required these days to have internet for school work.

With my internet speed, it would take me 3 days nonstop. Well initially, the mmos would probably push it to five.

where did you get this metric?

South Carolina is my original home state. Charleston was nice. Myrtle Beach, you couldn’t pay me to live there ever.

supposively, a bunch of businesses were supposed to move here. And some did. The only problem is there isn’t enough educated workers to fulfill the jobs; so they carried on.

Ma and pa shops are mostly dead/hemorrhaging here since the majority population in some counties is in poverty.

Those that get a good education, leave to work somewhere else.

I can’t find a job as a junior web developer here; I will have to move.

our state is getting to that point. Our governor keeps cutting taxes to the point where some schools are shutting down or requiring students to bring stuff like toilet paper and tissues in. My high school of around 2k students has 6 janitors.


you should probably move anyway.

On glassdoor, the only job within 200 miles of me was for a senior position at a university who wanted a master at the minimum PHD preferred, and no less than 10 years of industry experience.

It was on that day that I realized I must at least get a bachelors, and then network to find a position. There days where programming jobs were low-hanging fruit for anyone intellectually capable enough are gone.

trust me i know your pain. A computer repair shop near me wanted a bachelors in computer science along with a A+ cert to just inspect the computers. I wouldnt even be the one repairing them. I would just provide a basic outline of what was wrong before handing it to a technician.
