My biggest concern with going to Mesa is the pay, lowest per diem out there (is it $1.36 or $1.44?)and ridiculously high medical costs. In fact, I would say if you have a family and cannot get medical any other way, easily 40-50% of your first years monthly salary could go to that alone.

I pay $146/mo for a decent plan outside Mesa with a health savings account. 100% copay after deductible. Not that many people actually have Mesa's insurance, and those people who max it out with family plans on FO pay, well...its crappy, but there are better options.
