I'm moving to the states in a month or two. Irvine, Cali specifically to live with my old man for the first time in 14 years. From what I've gathered, life's a fuck of a lot better there than in this craphole of an island. I've worked minimum wage for 3 years ($7.25 x h) in a place that has a history of robbery, vandalism and bum attacks. When I went to Irvine, I learned of restaurant and fast food jobs offering from $9 to $12. Added to the fact that I'm living with my dad will walk/hitch a ride/bus/train for the first few months, I should see a good increase in income. In comparison to where I am now, where there are ZERO jobs outside of Walmart and McDonalds, I'd say it's an upgrade.
