Check into the hazmat job if you really need a job, same with any class A jobs, a lot of these companies will pay to go get your hazmat endorsment, and your class A, especially if you already have class B experience.
I am a lot further north of you, and there are some jobs here, but the pay sucks compared to down there. You will come up here and get a job for $14 and hour for the same job you will make $20+ and hour in sac.
But our houses and stuff are cheaper...well atleast I think they still are.
Not to mention two major lakes, two volcanos..errr.. I mean mountain ranges! etc...
