The California Move: FAQ

Just out of High School, I’m moving across the country to chase a dream.

This was originally published on my personal site for the eyes of my Facebook friends and family, but might as well share the love here amiright?


I’ve been getting a lot of questions about the move this fall, so I figured I’d answer everything as best I can in one place!

Q: Why Now?

A: Just coming out of High School, with no commitments and further responsibilities in the fall, I want to take advantage of the freedom and opportunity placed in front of me. Never in my life will I be in a better position to drop everything and move West, so the better question becomes “Why NOT Now?”

Q: Why California?

A: California itself is a bucket list item of mine: I love the atmosphere, weather, people, food, just everything. Bouncing back to the previous question, there isn’t a better time to make a jump like this either. Also Disney.

Q: Wait, Disney?

So I’ll have more news soon, but a big part of my migration motivation is work. I want to be a photographer or video producer, and there’s so many important and influential talent in the area. I understand the market out there is highly saturated, so getting in, learning, and getting out to a better market is the current strategy.

Q: So wait, how are you paying the bills?

A: That is an excellent question imaginary interviewer! I’m in the process of securing multiple part time jobs in the area, so I’ll have a somewhat consistent source of income. But ultimately I want to continue working on the big projects, and you (yes you) can check out more information on that here!

Q: Where will you live?!

A: SoCal will be an expensive move, I know, but I’m really hunting for roommates in the area right now, so if you happen to know someone who could help me out, please email me!!

UPDATE: I have a few options lined up, more news to come!

Q: Then what? You can’t stay out there forever you know.

A: Of course! I mean, I could if I wanted to! But I’m currently planning on refining my craft, as it were, and using the local talent to grow and learn in a competitive environment, which is a departure from where I’m at now.

Thanks for reading!

I want to publish on Medium more often, especially as my story unfolds in LA. So maybe you should follow me, and also applaud this post, because it helps me out a ton!
