    SC has some of the cheapest living in the country, and all you need is to bring your ABO, NY license, and sit for the practical. An SC license can start any chain for $20/hr, 41k a year unless they're terrible. More or less in independents and group practices depending on what you have to offer and what they need. Average salary here is around 30k and average household income is around 40k or so, so youd at least be average or above in income.
