Be wary of moving far away from family, though. My sis & bro-in-love (music teacher) moved to FL from CO to follow the $$$ and have been miserable ever since. Money can't replace family.

Speaking as a former teacher here in FL, I do have to give them some props and say the benefits are decent. You won't pay a dime for your health insurance. But it's not a platinum plan. Not bad if your family is good and healthy. The unions down here are powerful, and that's not necessarily a good thing. But I'm pretty conservative, politically, so OF COURSE I would say that. =) FL also has no State Income Tax, and our taxes, in general, are average to low. We have some beautiful beaches! and tons to do for the family! And ... now my ad campaign is over. =)TheRixonFivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897640352182298701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359395315324413225.post-62284741607911931122010-05-17T09:00:39.740-07:002010-05-17T09:00:39.740-07:00I am sorry!

It's so bad that you have to worry about all that when all you want to do is teach. Hope all works out for both you and Stacey!Darciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433894747049535179noreply@blogger.com
