Pros

Do you excel at saying “yes” to everything and questioning nothing? Are you ready to dive headfirst into the glamorous world of overspending taxpayer dollars and filling positions with friends, family, and “that one person who totally owed you a favor”? Well, look no further—this is the job for you!

Cons

Position Title: Professional Enabler & Budget Magician Location: Where accountability takes a backseat! Salary: Generously funded by your fellow Californians.
