Considering a Career Change, Where to Start?

I lived in the Tampa/Brandon FL area for the first 42 years of my life. Left in 2005. Have been back to visit family and been to Orlando areas a few times. There is no way in the world I would move to anywhere along the immediate I-4 corridor. Too many people, too much traffic, too many people that don’t know how to drive. Property taxes have gotten out of hand and now homes with older roofs cannot be insured unless they have a new roof applied. If I were to consider moving back to Florida I would only move to the areas north or west of Gainesville.

I plan to stay in Tennessee until my life is over, just not in Memphis. Looking to move to East TN in about 4 years.

 

Wilson Logistics in Springfield, Missouri pulls Prime refrigerated trailers and runs 48 states. Saw one this week on Interstate-15 leaving Las Vegas and headed to California.

 

Winner! What he said.....

What he omitted: hurricanes, sinkholes, gators (seemingly) everywhere, vermin (it doesn't get cold enough to kill them off), oppressive humidity levels for most of the year, too many tourists....and that southern charm atmosphere is completely gone.

Some people like hot weather. I'm one of them and very comfortable in Florida and Nevada. Lived in both states.

 

The heat is fine.

The high humidity....not so much.

 

You are either extremely intelligent OR divorced at least once.
Either way, I can't thank you enough for your advice.

 

I have family who live in the Orlando area just off I4…you forgot the high rent lol, it’s crazy.

 

But, doing well and being happy are 2 different things.
With your career suggestions and Mr. @tscottme
great advice he might achieve both.
Mr. @lual has a very good point about reefers and tankers.
Florida is a good place to live and start another career.
He is in good hands here, with you guys.
I wish him well.
