Tallahassee, Florida SperlingViews

Tallahassee is for people who are retired or college student maybe people with money.I think ,the jobs are not here,they have signs up saying they are hiring but they dont hire or call.The companys here like to hire college kids because of what they can pay them.they dont know if the person looking for a job that not a college student would work for what they are paying.That is one of the first question they ask.Are u a student.To me it doesn't matter, if a person have what it take for the job then give it to them.The cost of living is high for the pay to be so low.once again community say because of the student they up on the rent.What about people who just want a better life for there kids and the older people who get SSI or any other government assistant also the people with degrees.As for raisining your family its a great place to be.But if you are looking to better you life I think that this may not be a place to come.I know for me its not as soon as i can get a job and save Iam out.I look at it this way no matter were you stay some body has to saty there it may be for u and may not be for you. iam just talk about what i know for me.and i know this is not it.crime is going to be ever were so as job lost and etc but if you are doing great and love were you at than dont let no one make you feel different until u find out for yourself.I know i dislike ,at the time MIA,FL but now i appreciate it becuause its alot of opportunity there.So if you feel that way about where u grow up at and its a busy place like MIA than think again it could be worst.Everone move is different no matter were you come from.just find that place that work for you.God Bless
