Inside
IT’S THE QUESTION most of you would love to pose to your friends and colleagues, but you’re just too polite to ask. Well, we’re not so polite. We’ve asked for you. In this month’s issue——as you probably noted from our cover——we tell you who makes what in San Diego. From a bike messenger ($23,000 a year) to a funeral director/embalmer ($90,000-plus), from a certified dog trainer ($20,000) to the city attorney ($193,648), we show you the money and who’s getting most of it. It’s up to you to decide if they’re worth it.
Would you believe a window washer who makes $100,000 a year? Aren’t you glad you got that secondary teaching credential?
We also show you how to spend your money. Need a lawyer? It’ll cost you, but if you consult our “Best Lawyers” listings this month, it’ll likely be money well spent. Check out the list, and then turn to contributor Bob Rowland’s feature story on family law. Mostly, that means divorce lawyers, and Rowland cross-examines a few of the best. If you want to know what else family lawyers do, go to our Web site——sandiegomagazine.com——for a detailed list of subspecialties and what they entail.
And as if that weren’t enough green stuff, check out the other side of green——the environmentally correct side. In “The Greening of San Diego,” executive editor Ron Donoho leads a team of reporters through a happy maze of new initiatives that are making San Diego more compatible with its natural resources——from how we build our homes and run our businesses to the way we diaper our babies.
Also in this month’s issue:
San Diego’s YWCA turns 100, and we look back to its early years and forward to its expanded mission of helping women escape the despair of homelessness and domestic abuse. In Dialogue, CNN anchorwoman Kyra Phillips talks about her latest reporting assignment in Iraq and how she got her start in journalism. The daughter of two San Diego State University professors, she launched her own newspaper while in elementary school here.
And don’t forget to check out our two bonus sections of the magazine. Their titles may seem at odds, but they both tell you how to enjoy the best of the good life: Travels and San Diego At Home.
It’s all a good escape.
