In Los Angeles, I had a tyrant boss and was underpaid as a technician. After a year, I told him I wanted the title “associate engineer” (I had been doing engineering-grade work) and Fridays off to look for a real job. He laughed at me and made me a consultant with the new title.
Two months later I had a job in Silicon Valley as an Electronics Systems Engineer with a Swiss multi-national corporation. I had the last laugh and lived in Santa Cruz two blocks from the beach.
