My paycheck is double what it would be in another state. About 10 years I was a commercial building engineer working at Washington Mutual Bank. When they went bankrupt the buildings I worked at shut down. I received my 30 day notice and started looking for a job. The company I was working for transferred operations to Texas. The new manager called me and offered me a mobile technician job for less than half of what I was making without retirement benefits. I told him I appreciate the offer but could not take a job for such low pay. He called back and offered me another $5 and told me that was more than they were paying employees in Texas. I declined and found a job 2 weeks later at a site 5 minutes away from my house. My current job pays great and include a retirement pension and annuity. By the time I retire my house will be worth a fortune and I will collect more in retirement than I make now. BBQ must be good in the Lone Star State cuz they work for beans.
