Moving to California anyone? Stellarvue jobs...

#1

Post by DeanD »


Hi All,

I just noticed this. If I was in California I would be sorely tempted to have a chat with Stellarvue: https://www.stellarvue.com/employment/

Any takers?

Telescopes: 12" f5 dob, Celestron CPC800, 150mmf5 Celestron achro, Tak TSA102, TV76, ETX125...

Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Wow, I didn't know that there were any people still moving to California. Heh.
U-Haul has the data on this subject: California is the most moved-from state. Texas is most moved-to.
See https://www.uhaul.com/Articles/About/13 ... 1-IN-2017/
So... maybe Stellarvue should move to Texas?

Yes, people are moving out of California - lots of reasons for it - high taxes, housing costs, a general high-stress environment in the urban areas, and so on.

Over-population has wrecked California, and will do the same to Colorado in short order.

This is because people don't know where to live in California. Drive a couple of hours east from the cost - hardly any soul around. :lol:

Yes indeed, you should drive as far away from the "cost" as you can!

Hey, we just moved here (three years ago). However, we're in the mountains where the real weirdos are.
