Not sure what your point is
actually, its not "low wage" orlando... not anything against people on here, but I know a decent # of friends/family that live in and around Orlando and all make a very good wage for their job. I myself am waiting on possibly flying down for a number of interviews in my field, ironically, they all would pay me MORE than I make in NYC...

So, the low wage thing was off (in many cases) and my point is that there are certain users on here who only see things one way, whether its too sunny a view or too gloomy, and to call it "low wage" is being gloomy and not realizing that isn't true for all careers...

DailyJ has zero creditability.

I think offering facts ( which is what DailyJ has offered) has more credibility than ppl giving their personal opinion.

What personal opinions? Daily Journalist offered a four year old study on the State of Florida, not the Orlando area.
