You can live large in Indiana as long as you have a steady pay check. The weather is typical midwestern (highs and lows), though Indianapolis doesn't get as much snow as Chicago, et al.
Could you handle the weather?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

If your working in corrections, you'll maybe be in a uniform. If not, most probably slacks, a shirt and maybe a tie. If you shop the sales at a place like Penney's, you can probably find a decent pair of slacks for ~ $40.Originally posted by Frankychan
I'm not very materialistic so unless my employer (hopefully the State of California) cares that I'm not wearing designer duds, I don't really care. I mean, I don't dress like a hobo...but I'm not paying $100 for no damn pair of pants. 60 at the most.
No aloha shirts.

Even the East Coast has moved to business casual (in most industries most of the time), except maybe some industries in NYC and Boston.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

You'll find almost no nepotism. It's all very civil servicey. Which means you'll need to submit an application, go through an "exam" [that's a job interview, usually before a panel of three] and probably wait a long time.Originally posted by Ted Striker
As far as your job prospects go, maybe Zkribbler can help out, he's more into the public sector than I am. There is a definitley a very large public services infrastructure here.
Most governmental offices in California have a website from which you can download the application. Let me poke around for awhile & see if I can find the website for you.Comment

Thanks guys.
DanS-Weather is not that bad. I was on the East Coast when it was in the 20's, and I liked it. My face got really dry, but I didn't have to shave so often...maybe like once or twice a week. Cold doesn't really bother me. Heat kind of does but if it's a dry heat, it's ok. Humidity makes a heck of a lot of difference.
Zkribbler- Oh definitely, I'm slowly picking up solid color collared shirts and ties. But in corrections, like I said, I plan on going into another department other than correctional officers. How's the public sector's initial entrance like? Do you have to be a resident to work for the State?
It's either Cali or Indiana simply because I have connections there...but after that, who knows? I might want to move around.Despot-(1a) : a ruler with absolute power and authority (1b) : a person exercising power tyrannically
