Early 60s, just married, went for a job interview as a Tech Writer. "You can't be a Tech Writer, that's a $10,000 a year job."
Age discrimination.

"So you want to be a tech writer. Is English your first language?"
"Yes."
"Can you write?"
"Yes."
"Sorry, you're over-qualified for the job."

Don't you sort of need to make that much to afford a home within a short distance of the beach?

The more interesting question: Fry electronics is a news site now?

Lifeguards don't need to live that close to the beach. They can drive in, just like everyone else.

I have been in the Chevron refinery over at Hermosa beach. I think everyone who works for a living drives in. My company has a site there and some of the guys work 3 AM to 12 Noon or some odd schedule like that to avoid traffic. I think Chevron has RV parking for their operators to park for their shift sets.
