Hi Jay...welcome to FL! I live south of Orlando in a small town about 45 min north of West Palm. I am a brand new trainer, so still getting my feet wet. I work in the wellness center for the local hospital and am learning a ton...pay - not so great...but I am there to learn.
About Orlando: I think you will find the Orlando market to be much better than Destin. There are very affluent areas there - and I think you can have success there. As far as lifeguarding you may want to try Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Seaworld (they have a new aquatic park) or Wet-N-Wild. Beware though - you will find in Orlando the traffic is terrible.
I agree w/ PMDL that So Florida (Fort Lauderdale) probably would be an even better market (for training)than Orlando (I used to live in Ft. Lauderdale).
Just my 2 cents...Best of luck to you!
Anne
