As wonderful as life in TV is, securing a good job is not easy. Before I moved here I checked the help wanted ads in the Ocala paper and checked websites for local government in Marion and Lake counties. I was fortunate to get a job in my field but at a significantly reduced salary. That was over 10 years ago and the employment market has declined since then. Keep checking around to get a good idea of what kind of decrease you may have to make and if you can live comfortably if those earnings are your sole/major source of income. All things considered, I took a big hit to come here but I took that into consideration prior to making the move and I can honestly say I haven't looked back since. I am now retired and can fully enjoy all TV has to offer.
