I am very positive that regardless of your status in georgia you will still be required to retest in florida. The same for me if i decide to teach in florida after being certified here in georgia


2
I would contact the Florida Department of Education and find out straight from them what you would need to do in order to teach in that state. Every state has different requirements of teachers coming from another state, so the best bet would be to go straight to the Dept. of Education. If you go to this link, you should be able to find some information to help, or at least find someone to contact. http://www.fldoe.org/educators/ Good luck!


3
As a general rule, teaching certifications are not transferable between states, since every state has its own criteria. I'd suspect you'll have to retest.


4
A license in one state is not valid in another state. The one exception is when the states have reciprocal agreements, Check that out with the Florida state department of education./

Traveling to Jacksonville Florida... HELP!?!?

Traveling to Jacksonville Florida... HELP!?!?
I have freshman orientation July 2nd and 3rd for the University of North Florida. I found a reasonably priced fight: https://www.orbitz.com/Secure/ViewFlightInformation?retrieveParams=true&z=4d76&r=1m0&z=4d78&r=1m2&lastPage=interstitial.... but that only gets me to the airport. I don't have much money and want to keep this as cheap as possible. I tried getting in touch with someone at the school to give me advice about transportation and such... but haven't heard back! I don't want to use a cab for the trip from the airport to the school because of cost-- but I can't seem to find a bus or shuttle or track-line that goes to the school! HELP PLEASE! I'm about ready to cry from frustration and shock at the price-tag attached to all this. And the school's not really being any help either (they won't even let me stay in the dorm room over night!)

There is a shuttle bus from the airport that should get you to the central downtown terminal for just a couple of bucks. http://www.jtafla.com/Schedules/showPage.aspx?Sel=155 From there, you can pick up the SS-6 bus to UNF for another buck or so. http://www.jtafla.com/Schedules/showPage.aspx?Sel=159 A relatively-inexpensive place to stay for a while is the InTown Suites on Beach Blvd - it's a 2-mile drive but a doable mile or so walk from the northern edge of UNF. http://www.intownsuites.com/detail_hotel.asp?id=71 This will show you the InSuites location...UNF is just to the SE. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Jacksonville&state=FL&address=11451+Beach+Blvd&zipcode=32246-3805&country=US&latitude=30.28703&longitude=-81.52382&geocode=ADDRESS

Well, the guy above is wrong...but he does have some good info The whole trip will take only two dollars (1 to downtown and 1 to UNF) 1. Take the CT-3 to downtown (the first link is the bus schedule) 2. Get off at the downtown station (Rosa Parks Station) and take the R-5 to UNF Note: There are two R-5 stations, one with a yellow sign (Murray Hill) and one with a green sign (Regency/UNF). Take the one with the green sign http://www.jtafla.com/Schedules/showPage.aspx?Sel=145 3. Be careful of mixing up the Weekday and Weekend schedules 4. the trip from downtown to UNF is complete hell..you're on the bus for like an hour...bring something to do haha Your link was expired so i couldn't really see when you would land in jacksonville

Is Jacksonville, Florida way over populated by men because of the Navy.?
I by all means support the millitary however you must think about the fact that young males from all over the country are recruited and brought to Jacksonville creating more competition for me. What city has the more women than men in it. I dream of a city with maybe a school for teachers or any female attraction.

Jacksonville is so big that you really don't see military people that often in some areas. Besides they are usually on base or out at sea. If you go out by the shore (Jax, Neptune, and Atlantic beach) there are a lot of young good looking women.

If it's your interest, technical schools usually can train people in less than a year for a multitude of subjects. It's quicker than apprenticeships and the pay is pretty good starting, and jobs are not going to leave anytime soon for autobody/automotive, diesel, welding, etc. Wages are pretty good, a good experienced diesel tech can grab +/- $75,000/year. I think Universal Technical Institute has a campus in FL.

try union apprentice programs, electricians make a good salary and benefits package. and you get paid while your learning.

I see two questions in your post so I will answer them accordingly. The first is regarding college and all I will say is that you are making a wise decision not to go to college until you are ready for it. Its an expensive proposition and there is a benefit to maturing a little bit and understanding your interests before diving right in. As for your career decisions at this point - I would say that rather than focusing on the quick and easy route you should focus on your interests as it won't matter how much money you make if you are not happy. Most positions that pay well require some measurable period of time and experience before it will reward you (let alone education). So I would just focus on what you like versus what pays well if you don't want to make any long term committments.

I don't understand how your parents can be divorced and not have a custody agreement that applies to you. Are they still under temporary orders? Does neither of them pay child support to the other? Unless one parent has been designated as having the right to decide where you live until you are 18, BOTH parents would need to give their consent. If you have another relative, perhaps they can approach your parents with you to talk about this issue and about letting you live with them. Your only other possible option is to research what you can do to become an emancipated minor. At that point, however, you would need to be able to financially support yourself unless the parents agree to provide for you as long as you were in school.

Living in Jacksonville, Florida?

Living in Jacksonville, Florida?
In a few months I will be graduating with my BSN and I'm thinking of relocating from Georgia to Jacksonville, FL. I went to school in Atlanta and for the most part I like the city life but wanted more of a water scenery (grew up in Baltimore). How is life in Jacksonville, FL? Is the job market strong for a nursing graduate? Is there alot to do? I know they have a sports franchise which is great because I love football. What are some good areas to live (I'm a 22 black female and will probably be living alone). Any information would be greatly appreciated. I've been to Jacksonville, FL a few times and overall I like the atmosphere. However, I still thought it would be wise to get some opinions from those who actually live in Jacksonville. Thanks in advance.

I've been living here for nearly 15 years and love it...while I currently work in Tallahassee, can't bear to move and come home every weekend instead. The nursing job market is pretty strong throughout Florida and Jacksonville has several excellent hospitals (including the Mayo Clinic.) Beside the Jaguars, Jax has quite a few other sport franchises including the Sharks (Arena football), Suns (baseball) and Axemen (rugby) plus other big events (especially the PGA TPC tournament every spring.) There is a very active music scene with frequent big-name acts hitting the various venues in the area, lots of clubs with live music and a number of big music festivals (Jax Jazz Fest, Springing the Blues, etc.) As a general rule, south and east of the St. Johns probably has the best living areas - I'd steer clear of Northside (some of the more run-down areas) and look carefully Westside (especially check traffic during rush hour - Blanding in particular can be horrendous.)

Can you live comfortably off of a teacher's salary in Jacksonville, Florida?

Can you live comfortably off of a teacher's salary in Jacksonville, Florida?
I would like to become a high school English teacher and I believe their salary ranges from $35,000-50,000. I live in Jacksonville, Florida and I was wondering if I would be capable of living comfortably as a single person with no kids on that kind of salary. I would like the luxuries of being able to go out to eat or see a movie every now and then as well as have cable and internet, but as far as rent, gas and utilities go, would I be able to afford it? All useful information is appreciated, Thank you. :)

I'm doing just fine right now. I live in the suburbs of Jacksonville, (the Clay County District), and I'm a single mom of twins, and I'm managing. You'll be able to get by fine. I also have divorce money though My best friend, who teaches at the same school as me, is 35, single, never been married (so she's supported herself on her own since college), has no kids, and seems to be doing good. She coaches a sport at our school for a little extra money, but she doesnt really need to. She does it more so to keep her busy. SHe has an apartment (since its just her she doesnt see the need to buy a full house), and its pretty nice. Nothing like NYC apartments, but its cheap, affordable, and a pretty nice place. She drives an Altima (so its not a terrible car, but not top of the line). She has nice clothes, nice shoes, can take herself to dinner or the movies a few times a week... She's doing great off of a teachers salary on her own. She doesnt live in as nice of a home as others, but its not bad, her apartments in a nice area, her car isnt amazing, but because of this she can buy herself takeout, go out to dinner, go to the movies, buy new clothes... She's not rich, she is tight on money, but living pretty comfortably. This is in a district 30 minutes outside of Jacksonville Gas is cheap, and the area isnt all to expensive. I love it over here:) My only suggestion: Work & live in the suburbs (Orange park!!, Middleburg, Greencove, Westside (a little dangerous), Southside. Its so much nicer, and safer. Email me if you have any more questions, I lived here for awhile so I can tell you about the districts and everything:)

Cable, phone and internet packages are available for less than $100/month. A nice apartment will probably run you around $700. Utilities are running maybe $120 a month on average (higher in summer, average in winter, lower in spring/fall) and gas is well below the US average. Also, keep in mind that Florida doesn't have a state income tax. Even on the low end of that scale, you should be able to have an occasional night out just fine.

16 year old actress from jacksonville florida?

16 year old actress from jacksonville florida?
hi everyone! before i begin i wanted everyone to know that im fully aware of the slim chances and all of the heartaches and insecurities that come along with the business. but im also fully aware that you can find those qualities in just about anything else that you do in this world so with that said im going to continue. :D im 16 and from jacksonville florida, so just by the location and my late start (i haven't had any previous training or experience with acting) that i know im getting off on a rough start but i really don't care about all that. i figure im young and if its meant to happen it will happen. if not then when im 60 years old i wont have anything to regret. so my questions are do any of you guys have any tips for me to get started? especially since i do live in jacksonville and theres not alot of acting opportunities around here. my plan was to get training this year at theatre jacksonville. get all the training i can get because i know im going to need it and then with that try to audition with some local plays. i want to try to get a few student films under my belt as well but i really dont know where to start with that. after high school (i will have money saved up) perhaps moved to los angeles with a roommate because i know how much the economy is screwed right now. and then from there hopefully i can show a local ( not a big agency) my resume and maybe after a few more years of bit parts i can get a break or something. what do you guys think? sounds okay? sorry for writing too much and thanks for any answers :D

Your plan sounds okay. I say if the economy is still bad when you are done with high school to go study theatre in college. California has a really high unemployment rate right now and when you move to LA you might not be able to get a job to support yourself there. While having a theatre degree might build your confidence (since you will have the training) and put you ahead of those who have none.


2
I am fourteen years old and have done four plays. I think that plan sounds a lot like mine except for the roommate. If you want to do it then at auditions you must NOT be shy or nervous. Just read the lines as if it were really happening to you. Don't worry about getting a late start. But get in as much practice as you can. Try reciting lines from movies you see as best as possible. Hope I helped. Good luck.
