California people rely on tourists and Hollywood...

just like Michigan relied on car industry.
So maybe Michigan need to create something that will attract tourists.
How about turning cars into robots or something.

You are wrong salaries are not too low. Yes, houses are expensive usually too expensive but our salaries are really good. I am a teacher. I have checked other states and with the education I have and the amount of years I have been teaching I make more in CA then 45 other states in the US. Also my husband did not go college and he makes close to $20.00 an hour. He works in a warehouse. It is expensive to live CA but it is a beautiful state with so much to do.

jackiesolorzano

There are a lot of people losing there homes and I know quite a few but the problem was they should have never bought their home when they did. There were poeple who had a mortgage payment of $2500.00 but only made $2500.00. These people were not thinking, how could they think they could afford to live on nothing after they paid their mortgage payment.

Deafilmedia

$20 an hour? You can make that in Tennessee and Mississippi, working at the warehouse.

In addition to what Jackie said, not only people are foolish to get high mortgages but people also have taken loans that are not on a fixed rate..like balloon loans with fluxating interest rates so these people get stuck with a mortgage payment twice as much as their first mortgage payment in a year or so.

Not sure if DFM is generalizing to all jobs in CA but u are right. Not all jobs have low salaries. My cousin earns like a half a million dollars a year so I think that is a good salary to have to be able to afford the cost of living in CA, wouldnt it? I wish I earned that much!!! LOL!

Here in MD, I know many people without college degrees that make around $27 an hour.

One deaf guy in Florida who only has a certificate was making $65 an hour before he got laid off. It really depends on the job.

California's minimum wage is lower than Washington state and California is more expensive place to live on average than Washington state. California's minimum wage is $6.75 per hour last time I heard. Washington state is $7.93 per hour and will raise to $8.07 per hour next year. If anyone who has lack of skill and lives off minimum wage in California, the chances you'll need several roommates to live in a expensive apartment.

So, the point why are you guys worrying about the wages. Alex has his own business and he will do just fine in California as long he can afford the rent in Orange County.

moonflower

that is alex choice to go to california, he didn't say he will be in california like forever he did say he would only stay there a year to see how it goes that all

Deafilmedia

Somebody from Ontario said that he makes $8.00 an hour
at A&P Metro company.

And somebody from New York said she makes $8.00 an hour
at animal hospital.

True. Many people from Michigan and Ohio have moved to this area of South Carolina. They tell us that there are no jobs there, and that they are having trouble selling their homes.

My Hubby is from Michigan, and his relatives still live there. They tell us about all the schools that are closing because the families have moved away. In our area of SC, it's the opposite. They can't build the schools fast enough. Each time a new one opens, they have to add trailer rooms, and then start building another one the next year.

Almost every week, our church has a new family visit from Michigan or Ohio. It's crazy.

Wow! I am so used to growing up in fast-growing towns that cant build schools fast enough to meet the demand so this is new to me. Schools closing cuz of not enough students? Scary!

I agree. I could earn more at that warehouse than I do interpreting.

Deafilmedia

thank you.

aww, well when I was at film school in Burbank, California
I met many film creators and they aren't famous.
They are happy and financially well off.
Just like that man named Dan who worked for Spike Lee,
I forgot his full name.
It was pretty cool to meet people who are very talent and gifted.
Wow.

Fine, I guess I post on my own thread.

I feel that people go to California for no reason.
Increasing the house's price.
And making everything so darn expensive.
Making it hard for me to learn how to do film
and to see if I can get job there.
But people go to California for no reason.
They don't want to be on tv.
They don't want to work in film industry.
They don't want to be a singer.
They just wanna say, "Oooh, I saw this famous person".
But I saw more celebrities in Mississippi than they do in California.
Because of these houses' prices, people moving in, causing pollution,
many runaway teenagers go California and then turn prostitutes.
Many Mexicans come in and steal jobs.
Many Californians keep bragging about how cool to live in California.
I told my Uncle and Aunt, why be in California, when you're retired
and still paying the house's bills and mortgage loan.
And their firstborn worked in bank and her husband worked in post office.
And their 2nd daughter is house wife and her husband, a real estate agent.
Their 3rd daughter owns an adoption agency and her husband a teacher.
Their oldest son is a lawyer and his wife is a house wife.
Their younger son is a teacher and his wife is a teacher too.
But they don't have to be in California... they can do all of that in
Tennessee.
I wish people stop moving to California for no reason...
because they are causing the gas price go up, housing price go up, and
making other people's dream to sunk and making their life miserable.

I HOPE SOMEDAY FILM INDUSTRIES WOULD MOVE AWAY FROM CALIFORNIA
AND MOVE TO MISSISSIPPI. AND THAT WAY I CAN BE HAPPY.
AND I KNOW CALIFORNIANS WILL GET PISSED AND THEN MOVE TO MISSISSIPPI AND CAUSE HOUSES' PRICE TO GO UP AND STUFF.

OH WELL.
