Yeah that's what Mandi was telling me yesterday. They do a mass hiring in July or something. I know some guys here know about it, but she has numerous clients that have had to wait until July to get hired.

Don't just take a shitty job because it's easy to get or pays well. You'll be miserable.

That's pretty common. You enjoyed working on your car or your friends' cars but now you're working on strangers' cars with deadlines and a boss leaning on you.

That's not doing what you love. You did it wrong.

Cost of living in FL isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Some people I keep in contact with that moved to FL are telling me about how they got it so much better with rent and your other typical "needs" bills than they did in VaBeach.

It all depends on your job though if FL offers you more pay. Some fields don't see that lerge of an increase in salary.

You get far more for your money in FL (not Miami/keywest/etc) than VA.

Not to mention I have no state income tax, nor property taxes.

lets say he makes 35000 a year, moving to fl isnt as bad as most would think

To maintain the same standard of living, your salary of $35,000 in Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport, Virginia should increase to $36,071 in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwate, Florida
Stated another way, it's 3.1% more expensive to live in Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwate, Florida than Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport, Virginia

Salary

Cost of Living Indexes Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwate, Florida Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport, Virginia United States
Overall 101.1 98.5 100
Food 100.9 96.1 100
