The #1 job is an airline and commercial pilot and obviously that is a really good salary. Secondly, there is a little bit of training that you need to become a pilot. You will need to have vocational training or an associates degree as well as an FAA certification and the right amount of flight hours. Let’s look at number two, which is an information security analyst, all you need is a high school diploma or vocational training and median salary of 112,000 is pretty good. Now, all of these top 10 jobs that don’t require a college degree do require a high school diploma or a GED of some sort. Additionally, some of them like the transportation storage and distribution manager requires certification programs and you need to work in the field for five years. To become a police or detective you do need police Academy training and you need to work for several years in the police force board before you get to that position to make that amount of money.

If you want to put in the work to become one of these top 10 highest paying jobs, then they are available to be had. Make sure you do your research and make sure you qualify for the job that you were looking for. Most if not all of these jobs can be found in the Tampa Bay area.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I am ready to hit the beach! I live in St. Petersburg near St. Pete beach and I love it. If you love the beach and live in Florida as well, you have come to the right article. " These 6 Florida beaches are the best in the U.S. according to Trip Advisor" St. Pete beach did not make the list, but a beach near me did.

Before giving you the Florida Beaches that were voted the best, I'm going to tell you about the bad. Two Florida beaches were actually voted as some of the worst beaches in the United States. Have any idea what those beaches are?

The first one is Daytona Beach. This beach was ranked as one of the worst by Wallet Genius because of the rip currents, which can get bad. Also, there are a lot of shark sightings. Lastly, in 2022 Tropical Storm Nicole caused a lot of erosion and damage.

The second is New Smyrna Beach which is known as the shark capital of the world. They have had more shark bites at the beach than anywhere else. The reason, there are a lot of baitfish near the shore which attracts the sharks to come feed.

What's great is that one of these beaches is close to where I live in St. Petersburg. My radio station used to have our annual Wild Splashes near this beach. Any idea which beach I speak of? I like Trip Advisor because they let people decide what the best is.

According to their website, these beaches have been ranked by actual travelers. Below you will find the 6 Florida Beaches that have been ranked the best in the U.S. according to Trip Advisor. Do you agree with the travelers on Trip Advisor? Feel free to email me Babs@wild941.com

Clearwater was voted as one of the best in the United States AGAIN. 12,836 travelers have reviewed Clearwater beach! I have also been there and I love it. It's for sure a vibe and great for spring break (if you can handle the big crowds).

8,552 travelers have reviewed this beach on trip advisor. If you have not been there yet, you should go check it out. Last year, it was named one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in America.

6,789 travelers have reviewed Hollywood Beach on trip advisor and it's one of the best beaches in the U.S. Since it's on the other coast of Florida, I have not been yet but will check it out. Many reviews say try the food.

No surprise that Panama city beach has been voted one of the best beaches in the United States. 6,607 travelers have reviewed this beach on trip advisor. I went here on spring break once and had a great time!

Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park is located in the Florida Keys, so no wonder it made Trip Advisor's list. I'm surprised it wasn't ranked higher since the Keys are known to have the best beaches and attractions.

9.307 people have reviewed this beach on trip advisor. I have been here and the food options are great on this beach. I think it's just as fun as heading down to Miami. But be careful, they do have a lot of tourist traps.
