Be ready to get paid $7.67 an hour for work that anywhere else would pay $9-10 an hour! No raises, no benefits worth talking about and you WILL be worked until your feet fall off. It doesn't matter where you work...gate attendants to popping corn in the theater's, $7.67 is what you get and IMO, that's ridiculous, especially for gate attendants which at times can be a dangerous job.

Here is another thread that advises wannabe's about how hard it is to find decent paying jobs here.
A Successful lifestyle visit - We want to move!

I agree,mostly low paying jobs. Currently there are no job listing for opening at the villages schools.Myself retired from education,and coaching,I tell a story about a villager who coached at a major college, some 28 years, he checked out about about assistant coaching at the villages high school. Sorry they did not need his services. Think he is a college hall of famer. Would have done great job there ,but they took a pass. You know the saying, not what you know,but who you know.

It has been discussed a little but I think you will have to state what you are looking for and start a new thread.

As I recall the advice would be to have a job lined up before you arrive as they will be hard to fine and pay will be low. I think if you can come up with a service you can offer you will make out better working for yourself.
Jobs in the medical area could be an exception.

TV is always hiring...be prepared for an extensive application process (10 year to lifetime work history with phone numbers and names).... and 95% of the jobs are minimum wage.

[gocubsgo]

Work IN TV, not for. $7.67 is the top wage and I don't know anyone who can live on that!

Hi - I have some searches set up on Job Search | one search. all jobs. Indeed.com - matches are emailed to me each day. Haven't seen jobs there working FOR the Villages, but a lot for positions with businesses doing business in the villages - - I'm looking for social work positions. Good luck!

Again, more jobs for 7.67 an hour. You can't even get groceries on what they pay around here!! A VCDD job is Gate Attendants etc...a job that is way too risky for that amount of money!
