Helpful Tip For All: Here is how (USA) you make over $450/week in a 'very easy' job.

It depends where you live. The West and East coasts are more expensive that say a place like Georgia or Texas.

For instance, the average monthly rent in SoCal is now $1,500 and in some places, you'll need to spend $2k just to get something half decent. If you want to own, that's even more.

I'm not a big fan of some of the cheaper places to live out there, but people live there, so it must be okay.

 

The average rent for southern california IS pretty high, but you don't need to shell out 2k for a halfway decent place. There are plenty of apartments you can rent (that aren't scummy) for less than 2k.

 

There are not $1000 Flats / month ? I will be coming there soon so have to know

 

2 slice of pizza and a drink is like 4 buck..or you can get chinese food everyday.

depends on which city and location of the flat

 

2 slice Pizza = $4 ?? , how come its so cheap , huh

 

probably just the bread without the cheese.

 

depend on the store. there are a lot of crappy pizza place in New York that sell 1.50 per slice..or you can find some fancy one selling 4 buck a slice in lower east.

My dinner tonight

half BBQ chicken = $3.50
4 Garlic roll = $1.00.

or if i walk a few more block i can get a fish & chip for 12 buck.

 

I had thought Life in USA was expensive , Its quite cheap i see .

 

Being a waiter is a great way to network. I work in retail, as a cashier and guest service. So not only am I learning alot of great things about dealing with guests when it comes to business...but I have found it to be great for networking as well. Not only with the other employees, but the guests that come into the store as well.

 

Denise brings up a great point. In my post, I mistakenly said "decent" and didn't qualify it. What's "decent" to one person might be great or crummy to another.

I'm more of a yuppie, so my version of "decent" is most likely above the average person's version (I'm guessing).

So, I'll defer to Denise's evaluation since she's more down to earth.

 

Haha... I'm not sure whether I should take your last line as a compliment or an insult Jason

 

It just meant that I was thinking about specific areas in SoCal, specifically OC, whereas, you gave an overall generic response for the person asking the question.

So, your answer was better. I didn't qualify mine and I made the assumption that another person had the same prerequisites as me.

It obviously wasn't an insult princess. (hahah -> runs for cover)

 

Don't forget the Montecito.

 

That's a fictitious casino on CSI.

If you come here looking for it, you'll be looking forever.

What's funny about that, or not, is there's a company here called Montecito Co. They do construction of grocery stores and stuff.

 

You better run for cover young man

 

Why do you think I used that smilie?
And it's in the show Las Vegas, not CSI.

 

hahaha right. I don't know why I said CSI. Maybe because it's filmed here and I watched it last night.

I wasn't sure if you were joking. Some people think everything on TV is real you know.

I guess your IM broke this week?

Yawn.

 

No. But a girl can't always be available 24/7!

 

She can't?

 

Well, not THIS girl anyway
