I'm trying to decide where to settle down after residency and am hoping I can get some info from psychiatrists in the area. How's the job market in SD right now? What's an average starting salary? How's the VA/prison? How easy is it to start up a private practice or do some suboxone on the side? Houses in SD seem hella expensive. Are there more affordable areas with good schools?

I hear prison is pretty good. 3 meals a day, an hour of exercise, plenty of time to catch up on reading. Some places will even let you get your GED.

If you continue to use hella you won't fit in San Diego.
The San Diego VA pay is mediocre and this fact is further compounded by the high cost of living for housing in SD. The San Diego VA gets a lot of applicants given that SD is a desirable place to live for a lot of people especially with its temperate weather year round. The San Diego VA uses this leverage to their advantage. The San Diego VA is notorious for its long wait times (even when compared to other VAs) to see a psychiatrist there. Smh.
