How do I apply to work for California state jobs?
I don't mean "please provide me a link as to how to read up on how to do it," because I have looked at all of those links, watched the videos, took notes, etc. Specifically I'd like personal stories/advice of how it went for you, how the testing process works, advice on things I can't find on Cal Careers, etc. Double bonus if anyone's used the LEAP program to do it. People I know IRL who I asked weren't very specific other than "just take the tests and get in." [more inside]

Did you have a respectful separation and/or divorce? What made it so?
My wife and I have mutually agreed to separate. There are no kids, little shared property (she owns our home - I will be moving out), and no shared debt. We love each other, but don't see a future together. We have had a lot of therapy. We want to move through separation with respect and care.
Have you seen or done this? What advice can you offer? We are in California.

Broke, disabled and interested in becoming a So Cal therapist
I came close to completing an English degree many years ago, I was probably short a semester or two but I haven't looked up my transcripts. Now I want to become a therapist in the LA area, and my own therapist says I could possibly combine my time finishing my BA degree with my studies for an MFT degree, at the same school, and get the whole thing done in maybe a year and a half. I'm very broke and it's currently difficult for me to work due to disability, but I'm hoping there might be some scholarships or grants available for a disabled, 50+ therapy student. (Would it help that I'm a cancer survivor?) Due to my health I'd prefer to study online but I'll do what it takes to get this done. Unfortunately speed and cost are MAJOR considerations. Once I'm earning a living I may well go back for further schooling, but I need the simplest route to get myself started. I'm at the beginning of this process and I'd be very interested in any advice about affordable schooling, grants, scholarships, and other tips for the best route from here to where I want to be. I'd also appreciate suggestions for relevant forums or other places where I can ask questions.
How to convince Cal SDI I shouldn't have claimed I could work?
YANML. Physically disabled. Employed but with significant accomodations. Laid off. Believed and presented myself as able/available to work. Recent diagnosis suggests I was wrong (and delusional) to do so.

Visiting Portland OR in order to decide whether to move there
My husband and I will have the chance to visit Portland OR in a couple of weeks for about 4 days (Saturday through Tuesday) as part of an in-person interview I have with a company up there.

How do I get a rough estimate of alimony in my upcoming divorce?
My wife and I are splitting up relatively amicably in the state of California. We'd both like to avoid a legal fight over money and income, but after some requests of hers that seem a little unreasonable, I'd like to get an assessment of how our income would roughly split up if we *did* go the legal route. Still, I'd rather avoid paying hundreds of dollars to a lawyer to figure that out. Is there some cheap way to get an extremely rough assessment of alimony? [more inside]

SO has job offer 1800 miles away in beautiful California.

Should we be concerned about being destitute if we take this job and make the move to Ventura County? [more inside]
how to plan a San Fran wedding in 30 days or less
We just decided to get married in San Francisco, in about a month. Do you have any recommendations for a wedding planner who will help with venues and food? We are thinking of an outdoor ceremony followed by a dinner at a restaurant or catered venue. Or a boat cruise with decent food. We don't need flowers, music, dancing, invitations, decorations or seating arrangements. We basically need someone to suggest an available venue (and get the requisite permits if needed) and organize the food reception afterwards. This will be for about 20-30 guests. Any suggestions on a specific location, or for a wedding planner? The goal is something like a cross between eloping and a wedding. Fast and fun! [more inside]

Calculating California state income tax withholding
I feel like this should be really easy, but I'm coming up with a non-sensical result. I am considering taking a job that would involve a pay cut (long story, I promise it's worth it). I am trying to calculate what my actual paycheck would be. I'm using the paycheck calculator at Paycheckcity.com to figure this out. But the number it's giving me for California state income tax doesn't seem right. [more inside]

Moving from SF to Silicon Valley - need advice on cars and housing
So I've lived in beautiful San Francisco, California since 2005, but I've recently started a job down in Sunnyvale. I can take Caltrain down there, but it's an hour's trip plus half an hour on either end to get from home/work to the Caltrain station in question. This is not sustainable, so I'd like to move south. I'm 31, single, and a city boy from way back, so moving to The Suburbs gives me pause. Also, I sold the only car I've ever owned back in '05 shortly after I moved here. So I have two questions: [more inside]
