Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

non-compete / non-disclosure question

I am unsure as to what this means:

For a perriod of 3 years after Employee ceases to be employed by Employer, for any reason, with or without cause, (restricted period) Employeee shall not, directly, or indirectly, whether for his own account, or that of anyother person or entity, become an employee, independent contractor, to any entity or firm engaged in a business with, or seeks business with a past or present client of Employer, at any time, nor lend assistance to any such person.

Here're my questions:

Can I become employed by, or do independent work for a company in the same industry as the Employer?

Can I become employed by a company that may be in competition with one of the employer's clients? For instance, let's say Employer has a bank as a client...can i work for a bank?
