. Leaving the house at 5:30am to be at work at 8am (and just barely making it on time) was no fun. |

I moved to Orlando area 6 yrs ago, and now for 3 weeks I am back in NYC. I do not like Orlando at all. Job market is really down. Very low pay jobs. Disney offer to my husband $8/hr. My husband is very experienced chef form very well known Deli in NYC. I have friends in orlando without jobs for months, they are engeeners, and high class specialists. Thinks twice before you make finall decision. Is really hard to get jobs down there these days! I am so happy I left the Orlando area for NYC, but in the other side of the story I never liked Florida. |

Add me to the list of people who knows many people who make high salaries (they do have skills of course). And yeah some people on this forum have a pathetic need to bash Orlando (even creating multiple accounts to do so) and say something negative every chance they get, lol.

We moved here 2 1/2 years ago from Long Island and lets say it was a huge mistake. My husband is a plumber and he took 1/2 cut in pay. Cost of living is the same is most areas but pay is no where near. Also Florida is a no fault state so employers don't care (you can be fired for anything it seems). If you don't like your situation than leave is what my husband has experienced. My pay is less than what I earned 10 years ago in NY. I teach Pre-K and it pays for some groceries and gas. I personally like Orlando (we are in Oviedo) The people are very nice. The area is clean. My kids and I have made good friends. I have been happy with the schools. We thought that life would be a little easier here but we were better off financially newlyweds with a new baby. We have hit one disaster after the next. Really watch housing prices. A 400,000 house here is fabulous but make sure your salary can pay for it. We purchased a 4 bed 3 bath home with a pool. In NY it would have cost well over 600,000. All of our family is in NY. We have no one that way and it really stinks to know we made this mistake and there is nothing we can do about it. Good Luck with your move......Colleen

We aren't looking to purchase a house soon. We are just looking to rent for a few years, then buy. Our retirement home will be in Miami (thanks to my mom). We will not move until one of us (wife and I) has a job, then look for an area around Orlando to move too. We do have family all over FL, so it will be a tad bit easier. Just as long as I get the YES network................
