I'll tell you one thing, NYC is vastly different from the Raleigh, NC area. You might think of some other part of the RTP area or another part of NC. Atlanta is a big city with mass transit, as is Charlotte (although mass transit isn't so great there).
If all you have is a GED you will be working full time making next to nothing just to survive. That's after you get over the culture shock. And whatever you do, don't take a car there...parking could cost more than an apartment in NC.
To top it off, the economy is in shambles and getting a decent job will be even more difficult. You have some awesome schools right in your back yard. Why not get some school in while the economy recovers? NC Sate is right there (as is Wake Tech) and you could get a cheap college apartment and find out what a crappy apartment, going to school and working all at the same time are really like n a more affordable location.
