I fail to see how anyone wouldn't strive to hit the world running as soon as they could.

I've been doing some research on renting places out here.
The cheapest decent 1 BR place I would be able to find is around $850.
Making Minimum wage (which is now $8 in California), working at 40 hours a week, is $1387 a month (before taxes).
$1387 x .75 = $1040 (after taxes)
$1040 - $850 = $190
That leaves you $190 a month for everything else.
Its tough to do in San Diego, is all I'm saying.
