Well there are two reasons I am here
#1 The average Floridian is so brain dead and slow that even with terrible brain fog, we can run circles around them at just about any job. Maybe that’s why salaries here are half what the are in the north…people are half as productive so it all works out. If you are tired of the rat race and can find a job, then this might be the place for you. Just expect to make 25%-50% less than you are used to.
#2 I own property down here and it’s hard to be a land lord out of state.
There are days where I eat the sorriest excuse for pizza or chinese food you’ve ever seen and I really start to miss the north and then I remember how demanding work is up there and how bad my memory is and attention span is, and I decide to stay put.
