Moving to New York…?
Moving to New York…?
Here’s the sitch: I just got denied from my safety college in NY. Apparently being Senior Treasurer, a Yearbook photographer, leader of my school’s video production class, and having a 3.4 GPA doesn’t count for anything.
However, point being: Im moving to Manhattan. Period. I need help. I’ve never had a job. I don’t know anything about apartments or anything. And yet I need both. Im thinking I might au pair there for the summer to get settled in and then it will be easier. My ultimate goal is to become a photographer there for a fashion magazine. So my questions are:
1) Is it easy to get a job in NY? Where should I start?
2) Should I worry about my photography goal now and try to get a job somehow to do with that or should I just worry about getting money now?
3) Are there any tips you can give me on getting an apartment?
Average prices of apartments and salary from jobs would be helpful.
Thank You. 
I would suggest you check out au pair placement services. Many people use these services because they heavily screen their clients, on both sides. This protects you from walking into a bad situation.
Jobs? Apartments? Salary? Sorry, can’t help you there. And this is an international forum, you might have better luck on a local venue.
To be a fashion photog, you need an extensive portfolio, education and/or credentials. You might try being someone’s assistant to get started. This is a tough industry and it can be hard to break in to, having an assisting job from a noted photog will be helpful.
