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!

Thanks Anne! Im hoping its better than destin, i still think it could have worked there but i didnt have the funds to stay long enough at the time. I will check out all of those places, seaworld having a water park is something i didnt know.

Id like to go to ft lauderdale but there is alot more job opportunities in Orlando while i start my business up. I need some funds coming in. Thanks for your info. Good luck to you as well!
