On the job front the economy is worse now than it was 5 months ago when you opened a similar thread.

I appreciate its very tight out there. However, one of the few industries doing well globally is the Security Industry. Crime is on the increase and people generally tend to protect what they have more aggressively.

Why FL, CA or NY? There are 47 other states out there. CA and NY are very expensive places to try and set up a home.
The state coffers in FL and CA are in the doldrums right now, particularly CA.
Why don't you save up some money, and come over for a vacation, and see if you can find a job in security. How about Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, or even on a cruise ship? (casino guard). Try Carnival cruise line. It could tide you over until the economy improves.

...but on the upside, the growth the industry has seen over the last five years hasn't been switched off entirely, and after all, you only need one job!
