Mike...the type of work that you do...I think you could find anywhere in this country. Yes it pays well, but THAT kind of work pays well wherever you go...cuz' of the hazards you face going up that high. You must also factor in the cost of living there in Cali...ridiculously high! And as far as the e-cig thing...well, that may or may not be true...but I don't think it's going away ANY TIME SOON...it's just starting to heat up right now...besides, you always have your other skills and trade to fall back on right? I lived my entire life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin...I stressed over whether or not I was making the right decision to move here to Bumf...k Idaho and everyone told me I was crazy to throw everything away to come here. My sanity was at stake at that time...I couldn't deal with much more of the stress of city living, my job, etc etc. I thought, nothing ventured is nothing gained...and tossed all caution to the wind. I've NEVER regretted the move other than the loss of income, but I live differently now and don't need as much to survive on as I did then....so it all comes out in the wash. Just remember, you have to do what's right for YOU and YOUR family...not what everyone else wants you to do.
I love it!
