I had a lucrative contract with the Navy in Ventura that was supposed to last 3-5 years. However, for some queer reason, the manager (a female) did not like me and canned me from the project. No valid reason was given and it was not performance because all work was completed accurately and on time. It was political and since I was a contractor and not government employee they were able to can me on the spot. I hated Ventura anyways. Well fast forward to now. It took me 2 months to find another technology job and fortunately I was able to keep my place in San Diego while away in Ventura and move back to my apartment. I start the new job next week so should hopefully be more stable. Just shows no job is secure and one must have savings in layoffs and terminations. I wont buy a place for several more years until market corrects as the fundamentals do not support current inflated prices. After all, how can a family or household with 90k income pay half a million for a sandbox? It does not add up.
