It's hard for people to give you advice without a back story. You need to give some insight to a few things:

1: Why are you moving? What prompted the need for a fresh start?
2: You're looking for diversity, is there a particular reason for this?
+ Are you a Kansas native or did you move there from somewhere else?
3: If you want job leads you need to let people know what you do. Not to mention you can search various websites to get an idea of opportunities.

That being said, if you're looking for excitement and adventure, think you'll be able to find it in Miami. Whether or not this can be a real "move" depends on your determination and street smarts.

Miami's current unemployment rate is 13.9%. Service jobs are the major industry in Miami, but you'll be at a disadvantage if you don't speak Spanish. Contrary to what's been posted here on this thread, being Hispanic does not automatically equal success in Miami. I know many educated, successful Hispanics who couldn't hang in Miami. You have to be 'thuggish', have no respect for others, no respect for laws, looking for the next 'scam' and drive like you have ZERO common sense. If you fit this profile, you will definitely succeed in Miami.

Miami is a city of Thugs? Really? What percentage of the pop. would you classify as 'thuggish'?

does it look like the regular population in a typical US city? No.
Are people overly aggressive? Yes.
Are people overly concerned with sex and bling and superficial appearances? Yes.

= Thuggish.

Hmm, not sure I agree with your version of the word "Thuggish"

Are people overly aggressive? Do you mean physically and verbally abusive?

Are people overly concerned with sex and bling and superficial appearances?
When you say bling are you saying over the top tattoos, jewlry like a guido mobster or rapper?

Superficial? not necessarily a thug.

To me a thug is more the following:

1: Short tempered.
2: Quick to be physical.
3: Uneducated.
4: Establish dominance through physical intimidation.
5: Have poor or over the top taste in fashion.
6: Doesn't do much thinking.

if someone is dressed like a guido mobster or rapper i automatically assume all 6 of your qualifications.

Well I fit the profile anywhere I go im a survivor and the scams and cons will only increase my ability to be that much closer to the divine spirit thats within me. I have no fears and i become excited at hearing of all these fears others have. I was going to stay 180 days to learn different ways for me to survive then it is on to New York. i have already set me departure date and have it all mapped out. Hey! look at it this way we all living but we all dying so rather now or later we all meet the same fate so im not going to tip toe threw life just to arrive at death unharmed im charging threw life yelling DO OR DIE!!! following my gut is what im good at but this small midwestern Kansas City town has made me who I am today and i hav out grown the world it self so while other chringe at the prospects of change I ambitiously rush to the unknow possibilities of outcomes from change, proclaiming all that i need and want in this world. So until God tells me to come in the house the world is my playground. -ITZ ATIMETOSHINE! FACEBOOK ME

Well Miami will be a cake walk compared to NY. NYC is the home of the scam artists, thugs, people who pee in the street, high housing costs, filthy streets and awful winter weather. You should start in NY and then you will see how pleasant Miami is in comparsion. Good luck with your Miami trip. You have the right mindset so I think it will turn out well for you.
