When we moved to TV I came straight from working 10-hr days @ $35/hr. to having too much spare time. Decided to try working part-time. Nothing suitable, so got FL realtors license and a job at the sales office. Snared one of the "good jobs" but had to work fulltime. No choice in hours or days, no holiday pay, only 2 holidays off per year; all for whopping $8/hr. FL is a right-to-work state so no security in employment marketplace. Their attitude was "if you don't want the job, someone else will." After working a few months, I quit.
