Review of San Diego, California


San Diego---you work just to make ends meet here!
Star Rating - 1/4/2009
I grew up in San Diego pretty much my whole life. It definitely has the weather and has the beauty(from the beaches and parks). Probably the nicest people you'll find in California compared to L.A. & San Francisco. You'll still find a lot of rude and conceited people here though. People for the most part keep to themselves. So don't expect to make friends instantly or get a "Hi" back.

Pretty much surfing, shorts, and flip flops is the deal here in San Diego.

However you might have to think twice about moving here. It is very fast paced here. Housing is very expensive. Schools especially colleges have no money due to the governator. Jobs are hard to find here unless you know people.

You won't live comfortably here unless you have a profession in:
-Bio-tech
-Bio chemistry
-Doctor
-Accountant
-Genetics
-Chemistry

Otherwise, you're going to be stuck with at least 3 jobs and at least 3 roomates to make ends meet!
