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.

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.

Hope you like hurricanes! Florida is a regular.

Jacksonville is one of the only areas in Florida that is decent. Schools are ok, but the trafffic is a bit rough. The weather is alright , but the hurricanes are rediculous. Anyway, I would live there.
3
More serial killers come from Florida than any other state.

I am a native of the Jacksonville Beaches (Atlantic Beach to be exact) and it is a GREAT place to live IF you are living in the right area. (like MOST places!!) Jacksonville has several "A" and "B" school. Go to www.coj.net for Jacksonvilles "home page".
5
The schools (like everywhere else) vary from school district to school district). You might want to take a look at the State of Florida website where they have a ton of information on schools by district, city, ratings, etc: http://www.stateofflorida.com/Portal/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=67 Hope this helps!

I suggest Florida A&M, Tallahassee is a better city in my opinion. FAMU is bigger, and a nicer historical college. Jacksonville Univerisity is very small, and kind of lame. Pick the right choice!

The job market is pretty good. And the cost of living is way better than any other major city in Florida. As far as health care schools, They have quite a few. I don't know the best but my friend went to FCCJ and got a degree there and works at a hospital now
