In Cincinnati, not a particularly HCOL place, with 30 years and a master's she would have made $77k.

Is that really "paid well"? 30 years and a masters degree earns you $77K? Could you imagine that offer in SV?

Cost of living is much higher in San Francisco/Sunnyvale vs Cincinnati. I'm saying $77K in an area where you could get a 3 bedroom/2 bath house for under $200K is pretty good, especially if you don't have the skills to compete in the tech realm, which is about the only way you're going to end up paid well in SV.
