A big mistake people make when choosing a career is not doing enough research or choosing a job just for the salary — without considering their strengths.

If you don’t know all your options or what a job really involves, you might end up in a role that doesn’t align with your skills or interests. Taking the time to explore your choices can help you find a better fit in the long run.

Whether you’re starting fresh or advancing your career, Greenville Technical College’s open houses are a great way to explore different career paths. Upcoming events include:

News Notes

The burn ban has been lifted in Greenville County + the rest of SC. Mike Brod — Operations Section Chief Trainee with the Southern Area Blue Team — says there are just a few emphasis areas left in the Table Rock wildfires and tells citizens to be aware of fire traffic along the roads.

Eat

We’re seeing stars. The MICHELIN Guide announced a new “American South” guide covering the Carolinas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee (and the pre-existing Atlanta Guide). This opens the door for local spots to earn Michelin stars for the very first time based on the guide’s historic methodology + criteria.
New poster, who’s this? In case you missed it, the Artisphere 2025 poster was unveiled at a sneak peek VIP party late last month. Scroll through this TALK Magazine gallery, and you might spot a familiar face.

Art

There’s a new mural in town, and it’s at Camperdown Plaza. Done by artist Charis Jackson Barrios, this spring-y mural features an excerpt from “Dear Grandson” by Greenville’s Poet Laureate, Glenis Redmond.

Answered

Besides Pleasantburg and Greenville, what would you name our city?

GVLtoday West End Mural
Earlier this week, we shared the history of why Greenville was almost called Pleasantburg + asked you what you would name our fair city if you could. We decided to test some of these names out by replacing “Greenville” with the names you chose in some of our headlines.

Let’s see how they roll off the tongue.

“Restaurant City.” — Ama + PopPop Barrett | “Where to find the best pizza in Restaurant City, SC”

“Cleanville.” — Plmiller59 | “35 volunteer opportunities in Cleanville”

“Reedy River Land.” — Diane O De Angelis | “30+ parks in Reedy River Land”

They all sound great, but we think we’ll stick with good ol’ Greenville.

The Buy
