California in general is expensive, but I live in Orange County and the cost of living here is RIDICULOUS!

Honestly I am very lucky I make good money and can afford this outrageous rent!

Not much, just like everywhere else. My mom is a teacher, but has been there for a long time and has a phd, so she gets pretty good money. My first year out of law school i'll make twice what she does...it's sad for teachers :(

Seattle, Was.

The four-year contract offer would boost an entry-level officer's annual base pay from $47,340 to $64,312 by 2010 -- an increase of about 36 percent.
