Florida is unique among the continental United states in that it’s bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the West and the Atlantic Ocean to the East. In fact, most of Florida is bordered by water. It has the longest coastline in the contiguous United States. Florida is home to the American alligator, Florida panther and the manatee, which together are found nowhere else in the nation. Florida has a large number of world reknown parks and entertainment destinations including Disney World, Universal Studios as well as the notorious Key West islands located at the south end of the state. Florida really is a unique and fun place to live, especially if you enjoy eternal warmth, year round sunshine and beautiful sandy beaches.
Florida has a strong and growing economy. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Florida in 2010 (during the middle of a recession we might add) was nearly $800 billion. The state has the fourth largest economy in the entire United States. It has a thriving health care economy and demand for qualified health care professionals, including psychologists, is on the rise. The average annual salary for a psychologist practicing in Florida is about $70,000 a year (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010 data). However, psychologists with specialties can earn more. Several areas in Florida have a relatively low cost of living which helps make your paycheck go farther.
