yes, it's possible. the transit system there is decent. Hartline is the main provider but there are a couple smaller systems serving the general area as well. it will ultimately come down to which section of St. Petersburg you reside in and where you work in Tampa as to how well the service works for you. Generally there is a fair amount of service running into Tampa in the morning and out in the evening. Good Luck! And check the Hartline website for specific route details as soon as you know your exact origins & destinations.

Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income: 1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item. 2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities. 3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour. 4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour. 5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel. 6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you. 7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison. 8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time. Good luck!

About would you rather work in Tampa or Miami

would you rather work in Tampa or Miami?
For a seasonal job like server in restaurants or hotels.Would you rather go to South beach Miami or Tampa? Where it's easier to find job?

Seasonal jobs would probably be more abundant in Miami. If you enjoy going out at night and the beach then pick Miami. If you speak Spanish, go to Miami. If you like extremely hot weather and more family communities then pick Tampa.
2 :
Its probably easier to find a job in Tampa but funner and more rewarding (you'd make more money from tips) in Miami.
3 :
I would definetly pick Tampa. Much less crime and famous Clearwater Beach with beautiful restaurants and very nice people. Tampa has much cooler weather than Miami. There is usually a 10-30 degree difference of cooler temperatures in Tampa. So if givin the choice of working in a beautiful gulf coast town with seasons and cool weather (Tampa), or living in a never-ending hot, flat marsh, with a bunch of mosquitos and crime (Miami), I'd go with Tampa.

I heard its call the cactus flight, is it only specific jobs they do this for, or does the travel distance play into effect? (Tampa to Eglin is roughly 400 miles apart)

Being paid to fly to/from Reserve duty is not offered for every AFSC. So you need to check and see if it is offered for your AFSC and squadron. My wife was an Air Force Flight Nurse in the Reserves, attached to a unit that was 250 miles from where we lived. She was NOT entitled to this benefit, and eventually left the Air Force Reserves because the commute was getting to be a hardship.

Some, but very few units offer a travel incentive. Most will pay for billeting/hotel if you live more than 50 miles away. Travel is up to you. While at McGuire, we flew to Westover, MA every drill weekend to pick up Reservists on Friday evening. Then flew them back on Sunday evening. This was because the unit they were attached to had been shut down. It happens but not often.
