OK. Am from phils. and will be migrating to San Diego, CA. Im a graduate of BS Hotel and restaurant management….
Thanks if you have some infos regarding employment in hotels…i appreciate!

The economy hasn’t effected the tourism in San Diego yet. It is still a desirable place for Summer vacations and alot of conventions were booked in San Diego before the economy turned south so they are required to keep their commitments. Thanks to them, the hotels in downtown still get sold out on a regular basis. Plus, there is a high turn around in the hospitality industry. Try posting your resume on Jobing.com before you come to the states so you may have an interview lined up when you come. Some hotels have apllications available on their websites but a lot of them require you to go in to fill out an application. I would suggest applying downtown since that is where the majority of hotels are and they are seeing the most business right now. Good Luck!

any in the San Diego area or in Los Angeles?

thanks!!

Do you take your clubs to the pub? LOL
I would have thought the refreshments at a range are not the overriding consideration but each to his own…
Enjoy!

The Zoo is great too…if you like a good workout :) lots of hills. I go to Sea World at least 3 times a year..so much to do!! Have fun!!

My brother and his wife are going through a divorce. She called the cops on him stating that he had threatened to kill her. When the cops arrived she went into their bedroom and pulled out his brass knuckles and handed them over to the S.O. They arrested him and now he’s facing weapons charges. I know they are illegal here in CA, but he technically wasn’t in possession of them at the time. What kind of jail time, if any, is he looking at?

Its 12020(A)(1):

12020. (a) Any person in this state who does any of the following is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or in the state prison:
(1) Manufactures or causes to be manufactured, imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for sale, or who gives, lends, or possesses any cane gun or wallet gun, any undetectable firearm, any firearm which is not immediately recognizable as a firearm, any camouflaging firearm container, any ammunition which contains or consists of any flechette dart, any bullet containing or carrying an explosive agent, any ballistic knife, any multiburst trigger activator, any nunchaku, any short-barreled shotgun, any
short-barreled rifle, any metal knuckles, any belt buckle knife, any leaded cane, any zip gun, any shuriken, any unconventional pistol, any lipstick case knife, any cane sword, any shobi-zue, any air gauge knife, any writing pen knife, any metal military practice handgrenade or metal replica handgrenade, or any instrument or weapon
of the kind commonly known as a blackjack, slungshot, billy,
sandclub, sap, or sandbag.

If he had a clean record, normally I’d say he’s looking at some probation. However, since DV was involved in the whole thing, no one will be able to answer that but an attorney that knows the political climate in SD County.

I am currently planning on going to a university in San Diego. (SDSU actually.) I know California is a lot more expensive than here in the North Texas area. So.. I’ve been looking at the university website and I’ve seen housing is quite expensive. At some point, I would actually love to have an apartment but considering Cali’s high costs, what is the average for an apartment there?
Thank you so much!

If you are working a minimum wage job part-time or living off of student loans, or a combination of these, you’ll need to have a roommate. I was in that situation throughout my college years at SDSU (bachelor and masters) and I always had roommates. If you can swing it, a two bed apartment with one roommate should work. Personally, I always had more roommates than that (in various combinations of rooms and roommates) so that I was able to get my masters with minimal debt incurred.

Getting roommates here is easy. At SDSU there are many bulletin boards where people post roommate wanted ads, also you can find these in the Reader (local free weekly paper), Craigslist, maybe even on SDSU’s website somewhere. Come down here and stay at a cheep hotel until you find one of these situations, or you can come down here and rent an apartment and find a roommate. That’s how most people do it until they meet friends here and make plans to rent places together.

Here are ballpark figures for apartment costs here. Within a couple of miles of SDSU: $900-1000 for one bedroom, $1200 for two bedroom; Mission Valley area (within 6 miles of SDSU, usually large complexes with lots of amenities, many singles): $1100 for one or $1400 for two bedrooms; beach areas (Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach) $1300 for one; $1500-1600 for two.

If you share a three bedroom with two other people you can probably get your costs down to around $500-550 a month.

You’ll find some under, some over, but that’s ballpark. Note that the SDSU area has lots of older units, fewer amenities, and there’s not as much of an on-campus life after school hours in the immediate vacinity as in other campuses, so after the first year at SDSU, most students move away from the campus area. The beach areas, and more recently the downtown/Gaslamp areas have more nightlife.

Oh, and PLEEZE don’t use "Cali"; most people who live here hate that. And certainly don’t use it themselves.
