Florida stinks. I have lived here my whole life. Depends on your job market, but wages here are lower and cost of living is high. If you ARE goign to move here, stay away from the West coast unless you are very far north. The East coast pays a LOT more and is much nicer.
Whatever you do, stay away from the Fort Myers area. Wages suck and crime rates are high. Just my 2 cents, I have lived here all my life. As I said, other coast is a whole new ball game, as Sloan mentioned.
