(36,043 posts)38. Sending hope for her finding her way.
Teachers are in short supply all over. At the same time, they are under-appreciated all over. She might consider the blue state of New Mexico where, as in CA, it's sunny about 350 days of the year and the seasons in the south end are gentle, particularly on the Silver City plateau right below the Gila forest, which sits above the biggest aquifer in the West. The cost of living outside CA is significantly lower, and if she can simply get what she put into her house, she can relocate without lowering her quality of life.
All the best to her.

I feel that, lately & feel bad for our Californians. I've always loved your country, as I call it.
