There is a shortage of skilled mechanical, structural and electronic 
engineers nationwide.  It's not unique to Phoenix.

Depends on the job itself.  But now you're spun from saying below 
average to saying not a high salary.  Good grief!

Much of the east cost is densly populated but its growth rate is very 
low and many cities are falling.  Meanwhile the west has been growing 
rapidly in most years.  You figure it out.

> Rather clear and clear are two different things.

Far clearer than NJ which is one polluted state!  Course many areas 
ex****t all their smog and crap elsewhere.  Cities like San Francisco 
being on the coast do much the same thing.  Having clear air doesn't 
mean they don't produce a ton of crap.  NJ is one of the worst.  I've 
been in Newark.  It wasn't even 'rather clear'.

Arizona hasn't had such water problems even in Phoenix with it's over 3 
million metro area population.  So what are you talking about water 
issues in the desert for?  Your area has far worse problems.

Thats true nationwide.  However, Arizona has much more water than most. 
  They've developed a much better water system that works and is 
currently being expanded.  In states such as California they have water 
problems, mostly caused by political roadblocks that have prevented 
increased water storage etc.

ROFLMO!!!  You honestly do not understand what MEDIAN means!!!  You are 
the one that stated that median income figures were skewed by a few very 
high income people.  That proves you are clueless as to what median means.

> LOL, they pay less because the cost of living is less.

Partly but it doesn't usually balance out.
