[quote=masayako]May I ask how do you survive 3 yrs without a job and still maintain to raise a family? It must be difficult.[/quote]

I’m employed, just not in San Diego. I work for a services/consulting company, so i get on a plane every Monday morning and come home Thursday night. Been doing it for a decade.

My company pretty much works for big companies, so no work in SD. Funny thing is that when i was in Los Angeles there was very little work there either since a lot of companies have left for TX and AZ.
