Kalifornia is just rediculous. If I graduate and make the average salary that a PA makes (i.e. 65K a year) I'd STILL have a hard time buying a house in CA. That just sucks.
But, you gotta love the weather and the land. It sure is a beautiful state...too bad about the concrete sprawl, though.

P.S. My brother goes to school at UCSD and lives in school-subsidized housing. He's paying ~600 a month for rent, and that's a STEAL!

Edit: Oops, almost forgot! Congrats on the new house!



Congrats! I live here in Upland, and my (then new) four old home was just a little over 400,xxx. But my home is almost 3200 sq. ft., on a 12,000 sq.ft. lot with a view of Mt. Baldy. Pricing is really outrageous now!

California is really crowded now, and I have to take side streets to get to work, which is about 20 miles away. Even with the freeway expansions, it's still a pain to drive into LA.

Derk, as for your concern about wages for PA's, I'm an RN, and so is my wife. Keep in mind that the 65K/year is a national average, so the PA's here are making more (I know several), than in other areas. One PA that I work with lives in Seal Beach, and any beach area property is really expensive, such as SD.
