I have a BA so back in Virginia I had a hard time finding jobs, other than waiting tables at night, the best thing I could find during the day was working assignments for a temp agency making $10.50 a hour. I posted a resume on monster.com when I moved to California 2 weeks ago and now every day I get about 2-3 calls. I dont even have a good resume either. I already have 2 jobs now but the offers keep coming in, making things interesting.

what was your major?

CA is a lovely state to visit, but I'd never live there.

It isn't just cost of living (other areas are just as bad) but everything else. Crime, Pollution, et al.

I'll stick with the Midwest, where one can actually breathe clean air and $1800 a month gets you a mansion, not a studio apartment.

Thats why I dont understand why anyone would live in LA, when you can live in southern Orange county, around Irvine, clear skys, no crime and light traffic

I used to live on the east coast, so even LA has a low crime rate in comparison with a lot of east coast cities
