Thanks for all the replies. The "triangle" mentioned is exactly the area that I have been looking at for work. I've applied for a couple jobs in WalMart, JB Hunt, and a couple small businesses but haven't heard any replies yet. Don't imagine I will for a while because they usually take a long time to respond.
I'm in IT but I suppose with my retirement check coming in that I could probably make do with just an average job. I'll stick it out in the military another year or so before I do that though....no sense in taking a cut on the retirement for a slightly above minimum wage job.
I'll have to look into those other companies you guys mentioned though....never know when someone needs a geek.
