It's Teletubbyland-on-Earth, all right.
Compare the offered salary with local
housing prices, though, before jumping
into it. Many folks who work at mid-level
jobs there have to live an hour away or
more (where it's not quite so 'Pleasant')
in order to find affordable rent.

Wow... Pleasanton... a beautiful place! I was there for a friend's wedding a
few years ago during springtime... beautiful green rolling hills... very
scenic.. nice homes... pretty upscale community or so it seemed.. looked like a
great place to live. For anyone out there considering this job, I think you'll
like the area for sure. :-) Seems like a wonderful opportunity.

The only problem I can see is High School teachers don't make enough to
buy or rent a house in some place like Pleasanton! Probably have to
commute 1-2 hours.
