Real Estate, Jobs And Tourism Equal Opportunity In The Panhandle

According to an article recently posted on News Channel 7 Panama City Beach, Florida’s website, it seems that locals are expecting the new airport to boost job opportunities while greatly boosting the number of visitors to the area.

Rayford Corvo, a resident of Panama City Beach, stated that he and his girlfriend have never been without a job, he also said that jobs were hard to come by and that the airport will most likely generate more jobs for the local community.

Corvo, a landscaper, seems pretty excited due to his expectation that tourist will fill local condos as well as increase demand for real estate in the surrounding areas. He feels that people will start buying houses again! Naturally if people are buying houses they will need a landscaper.

Local officials have been preparing for the opening of the new airport and seem to think that Panama City Beach is now prepared for the increase of tourists! Officials have recently approved the initial set of plans for a St. Joe Company business center development — 110 acres of land by the entrance of the airport.

Wow! A business center on 110 acres of land directly in front of the new airport!  It is no wonder St Joe’s donated 4,000 acres for a new airport plus agreed to cover up to $26 million in potential losses for Southwest Airlines….the region will become an accessible DESTINATION and real estate values will SKYROCKET!!

Valerie Lovett a Bay County public information officer said, “In the area surrounding the airport, you’re going to see a litany of different types of development. It could be residential, commercial, any number of things. Commercial will likely come before any residential would come out there.”

As for new beach attractions, Pier Park is continuing to fill a niche, recreating a part of the beach’s hey-day with its own Miracle Strip amusement park, as well as an amazing open air Simon Mall that is more than 1 million square foot property.

Just last week, beach city council members agreed to plans for the new Emerald Coast water park on Front Beach Road.

What most people are not aware of is that there are numerous entities with deep pockets that are acting in concert to boost the value of the surrounding areas. History tells us that one of the best things you can provide a local economy with is attractions that catch the attention of tourist across the world. Throw a discount airliner like Southwest to service the area and a 10,000 foot runway that can accommodate European jetliners and now you have a winning formula for creating a boom in the local economy.

A great example of what could take place in the panhandle is Orlando. Where would Orlando be without Disney World.

Panama City is already one of Frommer’s top 12 tourist destinations in the world, Southwest will certainly make this destination accessible domestically, and I would be surprised if we didn’t see overseas visitors landing in the area in the foreseeable future.

The question is “who will gain from this boom in the local economy?”

Here’s is the most likely answer, The St Joe Company (NYSE: JOE). Leukadia National (NYSE:LUK) Southwest Airlines (NYSE :LUV) New Bastion Development (NWBA:OTC Pinksheets) and according to rumors Disney may even have some skin in the game when it comes to the panhandle!

Good Jobs Available Without A College Education!

There are definitely high paying jobs out there for those that don’t require a college education. A lot of people believe that the only way to make good money is a college education. While I am a firm believer in higher education, not everyone has the opportunity to go to college. For those that don’t, there are other ways. There are definitely ways to make good money and be able to afford the things you need and want out of life. You only need two things, hard work and an open mind to do what is needed.

One of those jobs requires only a driver’s license and a clean driving record. Those are the only requirements! Being able to make good money with only those requirements is a great opportunity.  There are many companies hiring for these jobs and they are out there all over the nation. Does that mean you can make the money without really working? No, that is not what it means. Like any opportunity, it does require you to work every day to make the money. There is no magic to it.

Jobs like these only require that you work hard, be presentable and courteous and on time. Being able to follow basic instructions and be on time is a simple concept that should be easy to follow to make good money. There are many people out there every day that ask are there really high paying jobs available now?  There are many people from all walks of life doing these jobs now.  They come from all different ethnic backgrounds, and different walks of life. The ages and gender of these people also vary. It is just as easy for women as it is for men. Want to be different and thrive? Then look no further. Keeping an open mind is the way to a great future.

Taxi companies are usually hiring year round. You get a job with them, use the car 24/7 and build your own business. They dispatch jobs to you so that you make money while you are working for them, but you can also pass out fliers, network with friends and family and others and spread the word of your new job. This will help you secure many more fares and keep the money rolling in.

The companies train you, so you do not need experience to get started. Just a desire to work hard and make money!

Any jobs that have to do with dogs?

Before you guys start telling me what good jobs there are, I’m going to start by saying that I am 14 years old (male), which makes it harder. I thought I’d get my first job to start saving up and so it might as well be a job containing something I’m most interested in. I don’t care if I have to do dirty work at Petco or clean the cages at Petsmart. I just want to be around dogs. I have plenty experience with them. I live in Orlando, FL. Also I’m going to say that I need to start saving money which could be an advantage for me so I don’t think being suggested to volunteer will be helpful. I already know most will suggest that.

I want a career in Disney. What jobs are there?

I’ve always wanted to dress up as one of the characters and sign autographs, but you’d have to live by one of the parks to do that. I’ll be living either in Dallas or somewhere in Colorado. What kinds of things are there to do working for the Disney company other than acting and singing in a place away from the parks like Dallas and Colorado? I have no idea what I wanna do. But when I think of a career in Disney I think of their thing DisneyQuest. That place was so cool. Maybe run a Disney store? Maybe teach kids how to draw the characters? I don’t know if you can do this but I’d love to do something around children. What kinds of careers are there? I’m aware of their programs they’re just too long for my schedule. And this would be my main job that makes me a living so the pay has to be decent.
