Yep it sucks here in Cali too!!
Thought about selling our house and moving a little further out of town, can't, couldn't get what we owe. There's way nicer houses then ours selling for less. Guess we'll just stay here.
My friend who owns a construction company, just moved temporarily to Wa. State and closed down shop here, cause as of right now there's still jobs up there.
I have 11 year office mang. experience and I am working at an F'in customer service min wage job cause NO ONE is hiring and if they are you have some stiff competition, and usually its who you know, not what you know. We have people coming in daily to turn in resume's that have BA degrees wanting to work for peanuts.
