There's nothing saying you can't move out there and see how it goes for a while. Take that chance, etc.
However, I'm another guy who's lived in CA. It wasn't for me. Too expensive and crowded. People don't know how good they have it in Central Ohio until they move to a place where they can't afford shit. I have friends who don't even make enough to save for retirement properly. Yeah, you have all this great weather and you live in CA, but guess what, I'll be retired and you'll still be working your life away because you stayed there.
Not to be Debbie Downer, but it wasn't for me. Regardless, like I said, you can try it out, see how it goes for a while. There's nothing saying you have to stay and it will open up other opportunities... :nod:
