I'm 21 years old and I live in Hampton Roads, VA. I am actively looking into moving to Tampa, FL. I attend community college, but I am nowhere near close to getting my degree. Right now I am a full-time bartender, and have been looking for a more stable job until I finish school for the past 12 months.

Hampton Roads is cool, I just think it's time for a change of scenery. This is like a military/government/medical career based area, everyone here kinda lives a routine lifestyle. I also want to move from here because there are no jobs hiring in customer service and sales what so ever, and although the job market in Florida isn't booming either, I heard the cost of living is fairly cheaper? My dad lives in Punta Gorda, FL (retirement kingdom) So I am very familiar with that area (Punta Gorda, Naples, Sarasota, Ft Myers, Port Charlotte) My dad suggested Orlando, but from the reviews I have read and the people I know that have lived there say it sucks! I feel like Tampa and surrounding areas would be more of my location. I am 21 so I like to have a good time, but I like to keep to myself a lot too.

I've been looking for jobs down there for the past few months, hoping a I get a good offer. Any other people my age living in Tampa, FL? Whats some good areas to live? Hows social life? Are most of y'all employed? What would you consider a good income to live comfortably down there?

Any feed back would be awesome! My anxiety is kickin in lol
