Hey guys - I was wondering if I could get some input from the SoCal residents, both current and past.
I just got off the phone with a potential new employer out at Edwards Air Force Base doing the kind of work an engineer has wet dreams about. I'm at Eglin AFB right now in FL. Right now, I'd say my quality of life is pretty damn good being on the Gulf Coast - nice house, beach, the gulf, weather, affordable. Pay is pretty good (60k). Work is pretty good. The work up at Edwards would be a huge step up in terms of challenge, visibility and variety, and along with that, stress. Also, pay would be more.
What I'm wondering about is quality of life in that neck of the woods. It's the high desert, so what areas would be decent to live, in say with an hour's commute? How's it living there? Housing prices in a decent area? What do you need to make in that area to not necessarily be a hedonist, but just enjoy life, save, be comfortable and have a duc or two in the garage?
Thanks guys. Got some thinkin' to do in the next 24-36 hours before I decide on whether or not to take this to the next level.
