maybe you should just leave it as "not for everyone".
a person making 50k a year here can barely make ends meat. At 50k a year, you are still living in an apartment, driving an econo-box, and forced to down top-ramen...not to mention traffic. If you are going to live outside of the bay area or LA, you'd have to live in the valley...or maybe sac...or maybe even stockton. If you are going to live that far to "save" money, you may as well leave cali. It's sad to hear people tell stories about their 2 hour commute times.
so yeah, you CAN make more here...but it comes at a high price.
