Re: Ruh-roh Shaggy! How hard IS it to teach English in CO?
Posted by Rob on 1/13/07

    I relocated from California to Colorado. Do you realize the
    huge difference in benefits and pay from CA? I could only do
    it because I had some good investments. And I am thinking
    about returning to CA after next year because of the pay and
    benefits. For me, it is about a $40,000 difference.
