Default So hows the Job market up towards Jax?

I currently live down in SWFL, and am going through a seperation. On top of that, there is no work down here in any field. Thankfully, Im getting some money to leave the house. So now Im considering relocation to an aread that has more available work.

Now I know that the job market is crap all over the US, but compared to my small town it cant be worse. I have some friends and family in Jacksonville and Orlando that would be willing to help me relocate, just wondering what the job market and car scene is like mainly in Jax.

I have experience in sales, project management, performance work, and I'm certified through EFI University for tuning. At this point though, I'd even consider selling cars if the market is still decently strong.

So, to all you that live in the above areas and especially Jax... What industry do you work in and how is it doing?

My industry is thriving right now, but we are pretty much recession proof, from what i see (and im in the self moving business so i see alot of what is going on with the economy) Jacksonville is probably your worst choice if yoru looking for a job, small businesses are closing left and right and big business is steadily moving out of the area.

I see alot of job listings up there. But alot of them seem to be more scamish than anything... My main thing is getting out of this town and therefore farther from my ex, lol.
