I *think* you have a better chance of finding a job in NC, but don't quote me. I have family in LA and in Feyetteville (NC), and they are very much different. Los Angeles has it's advantages. If you get a job there, you'll probably make more than you would in North Carolina. Your rent will be more, but not all things keep up with localized inflation, so your dollars can still go far. If you don't mind heat, Los Angeles has really great weather. You're very close to some beautiful deserts. You're surrounded by people all the time. You accedentally bump into celebrities every once in a while if you know where to eat out (I've bumped into dozens, I even flirted with Scarlett Johansson once). You'll be dealing with the extreems of classes there, eveything from third world poverty to some of the richest people on the planet. Only in LA can you see a Ferreri, a Lambo, a Zonda, and an 83 Jetta without bumpers all in traffic.
On the flip side there's NC. When I say flip side, I mean the polar opposite. The population in NC is very much spread out over a large area. The weather is wetter (humid in the summer, snowy in the winter...neither of which hapens in LA). Nature is everywhere, and there really is no worry about smog. There are military families everywhere thanks to Fort Bragg.
LA doesn't have hurricanes. NC doesn't have gangs. LA doesn't have forests and wet weather. NC isn't in California...the best state ever.
Whatever you choose, enjoy yourself.
