WHY BUY AND LIVE IN BREVARD?<br />
moved to Melbourne in 1980 and never wanted to leave.<br />
I And I know many visitors who also fell in love with our<br />
area and have made Brevard their home. So this month I<br />
want to list some of the reasons to live, work, and play in<br />
our awesome coastal county.<br />
Economic Growth-- Brevard is home to many defense<br />
contractors and high tech companies that are growing and<br />
offering good paying employment opportunities. Jobs include<br />
those in executive positions, engineering, technical<br />
positions, clerical, custodial, and security. Port Canaveral<br />
is expanding and offers opportunities in cruise industry,<br />
transportation, logistics, restaurant cooks and servers,<br />
and seafood business. Due to the growth in the number<br />
of residents, our county has built schools to accommodate<br />
the number of new students. This provides construction<br />
jobs, teaching positions, clerical, custodial, coaching, bus<br />
drivers, and property maintenance positions. Also included<br />
in the growth of our residents is a huge increase of professionals.<br />
Openings in the legal, medical, and scientific<br />
community have been filled by recent college graduates and<br />
experienced professionals moving from other states and<br />
countries. The increase of our population also causes other<br />
job opportunities like increased need for lawn, pool and<br />
property maintenance, restaurant personnel, automotive industry<br />
positions, boating and fishing industry workers, and<br />
sales personnel in many different companies.<br />
Educational System-- We are fortunate to enjoy higher<br />
education facilities throughout Brevard. Florida Institute of<br />
Technology is recognized as an excellent engineering and<br />
marine biology school. Eastern Florida State College offers<br />
a 4 yr. degree in many areas. Keiser College and Barry University<br />
offer courses in varying subjects. All these colleges<br />
offer several financing options, classes at nite and weekends,<br />
and even employ local hands-on professionals to teach<br />
several courses at nite. Our Brevard County School System<br />
is recognized as one of the Top Ten in Florida. Many of our<br />
schools, both primary and secondary are A rated. We even<br />
produced a USA National Teacher of the Year in 1993.<br />
