Area Code 657 Location - California

It is not difficult to understand why there are so many people moving to California. The California economy is thriving, the California workforce is the best in the country, and the California medical care system is world class. But, not everyone moves because they want to. Many people move to California for a variety of reasons.

For example, when I was in high school, I was fortunate enough to attend a national school in a small rural area in Northern California. We spent three years in this school, and it was there that I discovered a love of nature. The scenery, the animals, the sheer beauty of nature...I still remember the first day that we were allowed out of our bus and hiking down a winding, slippery, rocky trail. My shoes were soaking wet by the time we got to the bottom of the trail.

After that first experience, I never wanted to go home. Now, let me say that my dad is an avid hiker, but even he hasn't been hiking on the beaches of Southern California. So it is understandable that we did not move to Southern California for the beaches, although one has to wonder if the point of going to college and then going to grad school in Southern California would have been compromised by not going to Southern California. But anyway, that's another story.

What I'm trying to say is that college, working, and grad school are all interrelated, so it makes sense that this lifestyle that I lived and worked in would find its way into my adult life, because I went to school and worked in Southern California. So the more I read about California, the more fascinated I became with the idea of moving to California to live and work.

Of course, you could also take the time to explore and improve your career or personal growth in an area other than where you currently reside. For example, I have always loved surfing, and surfing has found a new home in Southern California, along with all the action sports that take place here in the winter. But, maybe you like the culture of LA, and you would like to be a part of a large city that enjoys cultural and gastronomic pleasures like no other. That is a great place to live and work, and it provides an amazing lifestyle for those who truly love and appreciate California.

Another reason to move to California is the cost of living. In Orange County, there are so many luxuries to live in, including, but not limited to: local art galleries, exceptional shopping opportunities, premier dining establishments, and a thriving business community. In fact, some of the largest corporations in America have their headquarters in Southern California, and many have relocated their headquarters to Southern California to be near the culture that they love and support.

All of these things provide a lot of reasons for those who are ready to live in California to move here for personal growth. Perhaps, however, those who have already moved here, and have become acclimated, have some reasons that the reasons listed above do not really apply to them.

Whatever your reasons for wanting to live and work in California, the choice is yours, and there are so many reasons to move to Southern California, not just for personal growth. But, remember that if you are really passionate about something, that passion must be in direct proportion to the degree to which you can support it. So be sure to come prepared!
