a local court CLERK was fired for forging a signature on a traffic ticket for a friendshe lost her $120,600 a year jobSHE WAS A CLERK!
Almost as bad as the Newport Beach, CA lifeguards.........$150K+Good for those lucky enough to get high paying govt. jobs. But if your fired.....where do you go?
A bit of research shows something is amiss here , Connecticut court clerk salaries are in the $40K range .
....But if your fired.....where do you go?
Orange County , correct ? Isn't that like the most expensive place to live on California ? DustyNaw, that would be San Diego, Newport Beach-Laguna area, or the SF Bay area, Dusty.Hey if you're on the Calif. State payroll it's all good. Had a neighbor retired CHP officer getting $80K/year when I left the state 6.5 years ago. The Calif. tax payers are a generous lot.
San Diego has expensive property... rents average about 1500 or so for a 2 bedroom place. its cheaper in some neighborhoods, maybr 1000/month give or take for a tiny one bedroom.Orange county is just as expensive ... farther East its less so, but the closer to the coast (where all the people are) it is just as expensive as SD. San Francisco city... wow, its another universe of expensive right behind Manhatten.try doing rent like that on minimum wage. (just went up to 10/hr) but is higher in some cities. Mayors and governors seem to be the most pragmatic concerning wages. Too high you lose business. Too low you lose business. Just depends on the city and how pricey it is.not sure Californians are so generous... in an altruistic sense... but certainly we are pragmatically generous. (Course, I can only speak for myself...)
Money wise, it's not so much what you're paid as how that works out in your overall cost(standard) of living there.
Or, how many Moto Guzzis you can afford to own at one time.
You go back to school, learn the difference between "your" and "you're", and then maybe you can get a job.
You're correct. Thanks for your contribution. What level of education is required for a lifeguard? HS diploma? Maybe a Red Cross certificate. Does the job requirements really justify that salary? Also there are many people who work at fast food places in Newport Beach who most likely are not making that much. They just live inland as the rents decrease in proportion to the distance from the beach.
Yep. It's not what you have coming in. It's what you have going out.
There are lifeguards and then there are Lifeguards. California coastline is long and people from all over the world visit and play in the water... which can be treacherous at times. Qualifications for lifeguard are very extensive... not your average swimming pool teenaged lifeguard. Many of them are also have law enforcement authority. I don''t know specifics, but I do know that its a job that rates up there with policeman and fireman and paramedic... life saving, dealing with the unruly, lost children, rip tides, high tides, low tides, tidal pools, sharks, stinging jellys, rock fish, serious sun burns, drownings, crowd management, enforcement of state, county and local ordinances, alcohol, etc.... Yeah, the job justifies the salary... and then some. Down in San Diego, I've met folks that work in the city but commute from Mexico (mostly Tijuana). Rents in Tijuana will be half of what they are in San Diego... a 1500/month rent in San Diego translates to about 700 or 800 for a similar setup in Tijuana. And yes, many folks commute from communities East of the La Jollas and Del Mars of the coast... East of the coast is relatively cheaper... But the 1500/month rent for a 2 bedroom place IS in the cheaper areas.. On the coast, your talking several thousand a month for a tiny studio apartment. I do believe that a "rising tide lifts all boats" ... and that a higher minimum wage translates into more money flowing through the economy making us all richer and happier... wage earners spend money in the community... just my opinion for what its worth.BUT, the weather is fantastic most of the time, the people are mostly friendly and the motocycle roads are among the best anywhere.

When it comes to lifeguards, sometimes it helps to realize just what they are being asked to do.Some serious poundage plows into the surf, the wake generated enough to topple children on rafts and as they fail to heed the warning for rip tides and strong currents, go out far enough they can't do the tip toe dance to reach bottom.The lifeguard, in good physical condition and sporting the George Hamilton tan has to swim out and rescue what can look like a floundering baby beluga who will grab hold of and without any intent, try to pull the lifeguard under water and use them as a rubber dinghy so they can remain afloat and gasp for air. That the lifeguard must also breathe is irrelevant at that time and place because it becomes all for one and one for one.The lifeguard, having managed to hold their breath for the 200 yards back to land must then haul said poundage up onto the beach where maybe it is necessary for them to do what they accused others of doing in school, lip smack the rolly polly hoping the one way resuscitation tube really is a one way affair. That doesn't help though when the cough of the great beast chucks up enough salt water and their last meal of salsa, coke and bananas erupts like Pompei's revenge.Soaking wet, slathered with the sun screen of the "bather" who used what can only be described as hydraulic fluid, the remains of upchuck and without half their hair remaining...just how is that lifeguard expected to ride home on their shiny V7 they bought last week with any dignity? They'd be lucky if the V7 didn't sell itself to the first scooter rider that passed by first.
