I'm the wrong person to answer your question because I find money to be very boring. However I lived and worked in Monterey County for 21 years. I worked for the county hospital, Natividad Medical Center, for 21 years. Because it is part of the California Public Employees Retirement System (CAL-PERS) I have a great retirement plan. I've heard that co-workers at the two other near by hospitals are paid more in their hourly wages but have no or very limited retirement plans. Retirement planning doesn't seem important if you're young but waiting until you're 50 or 60 to plan retirement income is about 20 to 30 years too late!

About 37/hr base to start. Goes up from there. Considering cost of living, doesn't seem like much....
