Moving from CA to GA.

Hi, I'm a residential and light commercial service tech and I currently live and work
in Northern California. I'm looking at a move to the Dallas/Marietta, Georgia area.

I'm fed up with the high cost of housing and living here in CA.

I have 3+yrs of service tech experience. I'm EPA universal and am studying for my NATE.
I'm looking for any advice or hurdles on finding work in the Dallas/Marietta area. Any GA specific licenses needed? Any work practices or conditions I may not have had to deal with here in CA?

I am clean cut, drug free, punctual, great communicator.

I currently make $28p/h here in CA. Could I make close to this in GA?

Any advice or tips?

Thanks.
