The area around Chatsworth, California is horrible. It is probably based on the suburbs in Hell. Everything is boring, low class, dirty, blah blah. To go anywhere takes forever and you have to like sitting in your car in traffic. \u201cThe world\u2019s longest parking lot is the 405 freeway and the second longest is the 101 freeway\u201d \u2013 two of the three freeways in the Valley.<\/p>\n
The cost of everything is high, especially housing, and the salary at Elan ($25 000 \u2013 $35 000) is not enough for living \u2013 if you get your check and if it doesn\u2019t bounce. Mine bounced three times. At 3.30 on Fridays we would get our checks. At 3.35 almost all of the teachers were in the bank cashing them because if you deposited the check your own checks would probably bounce and cost you money in fines. Sometimes there were no teachers at the school at 4.00 on Fridays because they were all in the bank even though they were supposed to be at after school programs. It was the hardest year financially for me I have ever passed. Is this good for you?<\/p>\n
