About Which is better, St. Petersburg, FL or Seattle, WA

Which is better, St. Petersburg, FL or Seattle, WA?
So I am currently live in Seattle. Thinking about moving to St Pete area. Of course there is no right answer but I am curious about people's opinions on the matter. Need help figuring out the pros and cons of each place. It's a big, scary move. My mom is there. I am here. I have a biology degree but can't find work here, so I am torn on the subject.

Answer 1 :
The SEPSI academy can be taken either sponsored by an agency or on your own. If sponsored by an agency, they will pay for the academy and possibly pay you to go. If you are not sponsored, the payment responsibility falls on your shoulders. The SEPSI academy is not a live-in academy, although you will spend a good amount of time on site

Answer 1 :
I am also a "transplant" from up North. Your best bet is to talk to people in your field. Florida is a "right to work" state. It's very different from up north. You may very well have adjust your schedule a little to get in your field. You will NOT get the money you are used to. Join a local "group" or Church and TALK to people. Most people here get work from "who you know

Answer 1 :
The cost of housing in Tampa has risen dramatically for the past few years, but it is still a reasonably affordable place. There are many rentals available in an affordable price range for a young professional. if you wish to purchase a home, there are still many condos and condo-conversions available in a low price range. I grew up in Tampa and lived there for two years after my undergraduate degree. I purchased a one bedroom condo that was very affordable and was not a burden on my budget at all. Further, Tampa has become very popular with young professionals and has an active social scene. The beaches are unbeatable. It is a really nice place to live.
Answer 2 :
Tampa & St. Pete have many service oriented business because of the tourist industry. We moved from Chicago to Tampa in January. I took my job with me & my husband found employment immediately at a bank in downtown Tampa. Cost of living? Well we pay more for a smaller place here,no tax on groceries, but prices are higher, wages far lower for same positions & the water actually STINKS! On the plus side, it's like your on vacation every weekend. Great weather,beautiful beaches....I can handle it!
Answer 3 :
It depends on the area you choose.I live in Lakeland.Tampa is just to crowded for my taste
