Cali may be $70K but remember the cost of living is high too. So 70K may sound like a lot but when your rent is twice what it is don south it averages out.
I also thought about airport police that way I can still be around airplanes
I certainly understand the cost of living. I've lived in most parts of the country; but you also didn't stipulate that you were including the value of that dollar you're making - you just said show me a place that pays $70k. Currently - I can't wait to get out of California and get back to a place where a $1 buys something
Best of luck 6724G. It sounds like you might be a perfect candidate to have a good job in LE and then fly on the side for extra money being an instructor or if you take it further, charter on the side.
