I shouldn't have to accept an entry level job. And if circumstances weren't such that my spouses' company eliminated his department and put him out of work 2 years before eligibility for social security, I would be among those people who choose not to accept entry level positions.

I am neither lazy nor drug addicted, I never have been. Turning this into a personal attack on me and my character is insulting, and I resent it.

The topic is: where will the resources come from, to staff all the new businesses in TV?

It's a good question, and I feel part of the reason it will be a problem, is because Florida underpays its entry level employees, and many employers on the corporate HR-decision-making level are completely oblivious to the issues regarding gainful employment, health insurance, the overall cost of living, and quality of life. Either that, or they just don't care. The cost of working can exceed the paycheck, when you have to pay for your health care.

That is total BS, Disney starts at $15.00 per hour and will put kids through college, give me a break. This country allows anyone who wants to work hard the ability to succeed in society. When I was a teenager I hauled garbage out of meat stores to have spending money, when I graduated from high school I worked as many hours as I could to make money doing anything legal, when I was employed full time I had a part time job also, I worked my ass off to be successful so don't give me that BS that society and your employers failed you. Any person that is in good health can make a good living in this country unless of course they are lazy. My kids are in their late 40's and all of them work 10 to 12 hours a day, that is how they were raised.
