Yes. Move to California. The schools are in desperate need of English and grammar teachers.

If you are a college student, then having a roommate or roomates to split the rent is a option.

Southern California

Los Angeles - pop. 4,000,000+



Long Beach - pop. 400,000+



San Diego - pop. 1,000,000+

Northern California

Sacramento - pop. 400,000+



Northern California- Bay Area

San Francisco - pop. 800,000+



Cross the SF-OAK Bay Bridge to get to Oakland



Oakland - pop. 400,000+







Then head South

San Jose - pop. 900,000+

All the positive stories, they are great, really are. However, fact is, they are not the norm. Most people who come to California, making 840 bucks a month, DONT MAKE IT. I see young girls like this, turned out as prostitutes, every single day, trying to "live their dream." people who are warning her, are trying to make her think, prior to making a mistake.

I've also seen many women like this, end up on the streets, drug addicted, etc. California is NOT cornucopia of greatness.

Default move to ca

WHY? don't you watch the news, no jobs here, high taxes and no you can't live on that amount of money, that's ridiculous. Rethink your ideas because you are young.

i would suggest burbank or westwood in Los Angeles you can rent a apartment for 1000 dollars a month, and even better the area is nice its 20 mins away to the beach and you can go to Six Flags, Disneyland, Universal studios, Knotts, Downtown, and hollywood you can find so many things to do in Los Angeles, also check out torrance and santa monica you can even look at Orange County, but the best place in California is Los Angeles Area anywhere from The OC to Upper Los Angeles to San Bernardino and Riverside counties. But Los Angeles is the best location in California.
