I am a PE in Michigan. We just visited family in central California and they were trying to encourage me to pursue California licensure and move out there.
But I’m a public works engineer and I enjoy the work. I really don’t want to go back to consulting but I’ve heard California engineers say they can’t buy a house if they work for the government. Is that true?
Which areas of California are the most affordable for government engineers?
For the purpose of comparison, I presently make about $60k per year and our new house in the burbs (4 BR / 4000 sf / half acre) cost $240k.
Thanks in advance.
