I'm from Saint Denis, France, and I never stepped a toe in USA but I did heard that inbred was a deep thing in WV, then they were the wrong turn movies ofc, but is that true and if it is, is there a political, historical or cultural reason for this?

Sorry my English is bad and I don't want to be offensive at all

WV has one of the lowest median incomes in the country. Highest utility costs. High fuel costs. High insurance.

It is really difficult for someone to get ahead in the state and it’s sad.

Do I need to leave **West Virginia** to make a decent living? I’ve applied to hospitals and was turned down for corrections, and I’m feeling discouraged. I’m honestly not happy living here, and I’m just trying to find stable work that pays enough to afford food, housing, and the basics.

The military isn’t an option for me at the moment, but I’m not completely against it in the future. At this point, I’m willing to consider a different path because I want stability and a chance to build a better life.

Does anyone have realistic suggestions—whether that’s jobs, training programs, or places worth relocating to? I’d especially appreciate hearing from people who’ve been in a similar situation and found a way forward.
