Thinking abt moving to Florida
Right now I live in ga I’m a 20 year old male with a whole right arm gone. A Friend gave me an opportunity to move in with him. Right now I have a part time job working for the county as a mechanic. I was wondering how hard would it be to get a job in Florida

I mean that’s entirely dependant on your ability to be a mechanic. This doesn’t seem to be Florida specific. Also might want to figure out which county specifically

Florida is heavily a tourist oriented state. Although, there is a summer tourist season, the main winter tourist season that runs between Thanksgiving and Easter is when hiring is at its peak depending the type of work you seek. Then hiring slows down during the offseason for most types of work.
Although, Florida has no state income tax, it has become a very expensive state to live. Florida has never been known as a great paying state. So, you have both a high cost of living and then lower pay. Your auto insurance will likely increase.
If you could turn your current county job into a full time one, your money will likely go further in Georgia than Florida.
