If you have a super clean background with no criminal record, no drug use or history of drug or alcohol use, no mental illness, stable work history, can pass a polygraph exam, have good credit, and have really good references that dont include your family to back all this up, and you can pass the CJBAT Test, and pass the physical endurance tests where they train you then you should apply to BSO. Broward Sherriffs Office for the Detention Deputy job (Jail Guard). Starting pay is like $3400 a month.
Education wise all you need is a high school diploma.

Honestly, if at all possible you should consider moving to a more affordable area of Florida. If you dont make big money down here , then the living conditions are nasty.
There is nothing worse then working 40 or more hours a week and coming home everynight to a nasty old drug and crime ridden place and still not being able to pay all the bills.
Isnt north Florida cheaper? Like Tallahasse or Pensacola area?

North Florida is cheaper, you should consider Jacksonville.

No offense Lauderdale81, but you need to get organized. Your numbers are way out of whack for the apt. you're talking about. Even at $600/wk you'd starve. Good luck.

^^600$ a week is 2,400 a month, more than half the rent, seeing as my car is paid for i would have over 1,100 left after the rent is due to pay the bills, which would b no more than 300 a months leaving me with 800$ to buy food and gas which is more than enough for one person.

How many bills will you have? $300 might pay electricity in a 2 bedroom. You don't want cable, internet, phone, etc?! You could find something a lot cheaper than $1069. Will you be living alone?
