San Diego Travel Pay Rates

Hi, I am looking to take my 1st travel assignment in San Diego. I am interested in what other travelers are making in SD. My recruiter told me that the pay was $25.51 + time and a half for the last 4 hours which would be $12.75 more for hours 8-12. I was looking to make at least $30 base. Is this an unreasonable amount for SD? I am aware that S. Cali pays less than N. Cali, but I wasn't expecting it to be this much less. I want to go to SD specifically b/c I used to live there and have quite a few friends there. Thanks for reading. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
