    There are more people in the country wanting to live near the ocean, warm weather, no income taxes than there are jobs in Florida. Florida manufactures very little compared to other states. So the jobs are often over-supplied with applicants and the pay is lower than other states. There's an endless supply of low-wage service & hospitality jobs because they are low-paying and dealing with idiots. I spent 7 years in the state for college and "my first career". I don't care if I ever see the ocean or experience temps above 50 F ever again. It's a matter of preference. Everyone has their preferences. If forced to live some place, I would prefer to be forced to live in FL than maybe 15 other states. FL Governor is my choice to lead the country some day.

    there is alot to learn especially in service repair , that's where the money is . 2million liability plus 500k cash bond gets your foot into good commercial customers along with hitting the f'loor running at 2am when they call with emergency.
