Thinking of moving to florida, need advice on where I should go.
I'm in the engineering/science industry and seriously considering moving to Florida, but I've only vacationed there so I'm looking for advice on living there. There is a bunch of science related companies stretching from Tampa to Orlando, but I have a free place to stay in Fort Lauderdale if I wanted to. Ideally I'd like to land a job around the Fort Lauderdale area, but I'm not sure how many science related companies are in that area. I'm also interested in Miami area. Looking for advice on what it is like living in any of those areas. I'm ready to put myself into a small piece of real estate so I'd be interested to see what property values are like. I'm also trying to stay away from places that are dominated by retired people.

Miami area is $$$$ talk to GSC3..he lived down there....Tampa/Clearwater area is nice..definetly less $$$ than Miami...can't speak for East coast...oh yeah...you can't get away from the retired people..they are like fly crap...everywhere
I am a Head Hunter in Sarasota. If you need a job let me know!! Engineers are in big demand on the West coast of Fla and are getting paid top dollar. As for the S Fla I agree with JEEP TJ

What's your age? Is that your boat in your avatar? If under 45 & single w/Cigarette & Vette, Ft. Laud is THE center of the Universe (see my pics).
Wife + kids + mini-van? Try Orlando.
Tampa? Haven't heard anything good, but I've never been, so I won't say anything.
Miami? Don't go unless you're being paid $$$. It sux...
There are other options on the periphery (Delray Beach = ), horse country in SW Miami-Dade County, Naples, etc.
Well, Scripps should be setting up shop in the Palm Beach county soon. There are companies here in the Boca/Delray area, were I currently work. I suppose we need to know more about you first.
It is the law, retired people have to come to Florida.
You all will be a retired person someday too, as will we all.
1995LT1, I live in Atlanta and work for an eng firm, last I heard the Fla salaried for permanent eng were not very high in Fla. Check with the headhunter for positions and salary ranges down there. Atl is not a bad place and close enough to get down to Fla, still sux that the beach is min 4 hours, 5 hours or 6 hours depending on which one you want to go to. Good luck

I will drive myself off a cliff if I become one of the nasty, grouchy old bastards I see here every day. I have run across a few "cool" old folks who are quite a kick to be around (e.g. - still chasing "chicks" at 80!), but for the most part they're downright miserable. I guess not investing wisely your entire life and ending up living in a decaying 55+ community surrounded by other "senior-losers" will do that to a soul.
