WOW! FT. Meyers Fla? I heard lots of people moving out of the area (FL) because of cost of living. Actually, related to the what the hurricanes have done to the cost of housing too.

Why don't you try a travel job in the states you are interested in? It would give you an idea how things work there without committing to a FT job that you may have regretted taking!

I have worked in states that had unions. They do not prevent you from working overtime. They prevent the employer from "making" yo work overtime and make sure you are paid fairly. Also, they make sure your senority is protected! There is bad and ...
