crash tested
I may get a job in San Diego.
There's a good chance I'll get it, if the funding goes through.
I don't have a job offer yet, but one of the project leads in Cali wanted to know if I wanted to talk about moving over to San Diego.
I have no idea what it's like, I've never been to LA or San Diego. To be honest, I'm not a city person. I hate them. I do like the northern part of California, north of San Francisco. I think that's one of my favorite places I've been.
California always seemed like a nice place to visit, but a difficult place to live. All the things you're probably sick of hearing: high unemployment, high taxes, high cost of living, etc., all scare me. I have 2 cousins who grew up in Cali and they moved to Texas.
I'm pretty happy with where I'm at in Maryland. I've been here all my life. The pay is really good and there are plenty of jobs, even in this economy. Lots of nice suburbs and I have friends and family all over the DC area. I'm even looking for a home to settle down a bit....now this job opportunity came along...so I don't know. Do I want to spend to rest of my life where I'm at? I dunno....
As far as riding in MD, well there's variety if you're willing to spend some time to get there....but MD can't compete with SoCal when it comes to weather. I won't even try there. But still, it takes more than weather to be comfortable someplace. One thing I don't want is to live in some crappy apartment like I'm still in college. I'm older now and I'm ready to buy a new townhome, with a sweet garage, of course.
So this is a big decision in my life. Here's your chance to totally screw my life up! What do you think I should do? I don't want to get into a situation that will suck 5 years down the road, but then again moving to San Diego would be something different, which is sometimes good enough....
