Marion, I have a friend who has the similar credentials as you. He was trying to break into the workforce seeking school counseling type jobs.He never got a chance at them. He then started with what one would call “dues paying” type jobs. He worked at a juvenile detention center for adolescents. After that he worked, on a short term contract, in an “alternative” school for which he got a few extensions but eventually ended. He then worked in another detention center as an educator and finally landed a contract position in the school district as a middle school teacher for the troubled kids again.

Marion,
Houses in Temecula and Murrieta are going to reach realistic prices for where they are situated in Southern CA, That is a given. Whether that is affordable by individual standards is another question. Bailouts won’t keep prices artificially high forever. They will just change the course to market based affordability or perhaps as others have said, won’t do anything.

Where is your part in all of this sandiego? If I understand properly you are already losing your down payment too? 2003 wasn’t such a great time to put a lot of money down on a downtown condo I guess.Did you get the 45% equity you once had from your own capital investment? The appreciation that happened after that is because of bad choices by banks like Countrywide and by your neighbors. So effectively any hole you got yourself into your did it yourself. Am I missing something?

I do’t care about the staying or walking part I just can’t see justifying the decision by the mistakes other people made.

Isn’t part of the problem with IT that people without degrees can perform many high level positions? I have a friend who works right below the V.P. of that dept. for a fairly large company. He does not have a degree and has said that half of the people below him also do not, but that most of them could do his job. I am not nay saying anything anyone has posted, just reflecting some observations. There have always been dead end jobs and “glass ceilings”. He said consultants can make way more but they have to travel extensively. That was a few years back.
