Huh? Desirable? What rock have you been hiding under? Looked at the
economy and job market lately? People would kill for your "clerk-typist
job with the county [that] will get you around that [$30K], and better
benefits, in California, and a 5% automatic raise every year".

WOW!

Economy is even worse than I thought! The neighbors daughter completed
jr college and is working for the county while completing here degree at
the four year, nights and weekends! She grabbed the county job to make
ends meet and have a decent apt.

I thought $30k for a two year college ed was pretty standard. You do
know the city cops here start at $50k with 6 months training and a
couple of jr college classes, right?

Where do you live, the Ozarks?

I guess I should have said, " ... at or NEAR minimum wage."
