It takes a certain mindset to live here...

After working in the Naples area for over 2 years and living here permanently for close to a year, I've given moving some serious thought. As a transplant and a 21-year old student at the local college I can tell you there is not a whole lot to do here and it is difficult to advance or find new opportunities. Like many will say it is quite diverse, but people generally keep to themselves and their own background or tax bracket making the diversity nothing to write home about. Being yourself is not really encouraged, so if you decide to come here you'll want to find a niche and you better hope your pockets are lined with money or you will be quite bored. It's kind of a shame, because the town itself is really nice, well-kept, with great beaches and pleasant winters. It's one of those places you will either love or hate, so consider taking an extended vacation to see everything and do some research. If you can't afford said vacation, you certainly won't be able to afford an enjoyable living here.
