Advice for a california girl moving to atlanta georgia?
The only advice I can give you is to be prepared. Come to ATL a few times for a visit. Not as a tourist but as somebody looking for a job and a home. learn about the different neighborhoods and sections of town. Figure out where it is you want to live. Find a job before you pack your first box. DO NOT move all the way across the country with no job. It might take you 6 months to find good work and how are you going to pay your bills and raise children without a job. Your cash is going to burn up quick if you aren't earning money the day after you move in. Avoid the west end and the southside. Those are the low income areas. I won't call them all ghettos but many would. The best areas are all north of town. North of I-20. Decatur, Stone Mountain, Lilburn, Lithonia are all very nice middle class suburban areas where you would feel at home (majority black). Traffic stinks no matter where you go. Can't escape it. So try to find work close by home or a home close by work. But many of us drive 1 hour or more to work every day. You'll have 30 days to transfer your CA drivers license to a GA license. Same with your cars. 30 days to get them registered in the state and buy GA tags. If your children are school aged check the Gwinnett county schools, Fulton county schools and Cobb county schools. Avoid Dekalb county schools and city of Atlanta schools. They are both a mess and they are suffering under disfuctional school boards.
Im 18 years old and want to move out to california?
3 of my friends and i want to move out to california just for a good experience, were always up for sometihng new and fun to do so we think this will be a good idea. southern california is where we are focused on but we dont know where would be a good fun place to live yet. we like to party and the medical marijuana is a major plus for moving out there :) . Being from connecticut would this be a good experience?
I wish my parents would let us move to California?
There's probably much more reasons to your parent's decision than not wanting to move cause of their friends. It's rather expensive to live in Cali. In fact, it's rather expensive to just up and move for the sake of moving, let alone across the country. It's about a two day drive from the east to west coast providing you keep driving straight through and not stopping to rest, eat, use the bathroom, refill gas in your car, etc. Gas itself is not cheap. It's about 40 dollars to fill my car every week. That's 80 dollars every two weeks. There are however much more fuel efficient and much less fuel efficient cars than mine but gas still is expensive nonetheless. Also, planes are safe for the most part however they're expensive. And these days, airliners are charging you for basically everything from checking on your luggage to plane fuel. The last time I flew from Philly airport to LAX, just the flight itself was 5-6 hours going there, and even longer coming back. That's not including the wait time at the airports. Also, assume you do fly out there, where do you plan to stay? Where are you planning to get the money for lodging, food, entertainment and transportation? Also, if your parents are working, they may not have any job opportunities out in Cali like they do where they are now. No job = no money to support the family. Seeing as you're young, your parents may not expect you to understand all of their reasons for not wanting to move. So they give you a reason that you may understand. But there's much more reasons as to why they won't move.
Is it better to live in LA or Atlanta?
Like what everyone else below said it all depends on you:Let’s talk about LA first:3rd largest metropolitan economy in the world with a GDP of $700 billion dollars. There’s money to be made in them hills. Atlanta is number 10 at $300 billion.Nothing says diversity more than LA, you can’t say the same about Atlanta.People flock to LA for it’s Mediterranean climate. Plus LA/CA is one of the few places you can surf the ocean in Malibu early morning and then hit the slopes skiing two hours later.Entertainment industry, Silicon beach, fashion industry, you name it LA has it.LA has more Koreans, Armenians, Filipinos, Chinese (both Cantonese and Mandarin) Thai, Cambodians, Mexicans, El Salvadoreans, etc, etc. anywhere else in the world. Can you imagine the cuisine available?With diversity comes tolerance and exposure to culture. That’s why LA bleeds blueCons:Housing is expensive.The beaches although they are pretty will never have warm water. Warm ocean water to us is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.Traffic is really bad, I mean really bad.Transplants come to LA to find their fortune but not everyone is cut for it.LA county, not the city is expansive. It’s a car based economy and you need one to get around.Public transit is getting there but not enough for you to ditch your car.Then let’s talk about Atlanta:Cleaner than LA.Southern Hospitality is bar none.Housing is way cheaper than LA.The air doesn’t consist of smog.Peaches, peaches, peaches.Southern Style cuisine.Pretentious transplants from other states/countries are less abundant than LA.Diverse but not diverse enough for you to get a good bowl of Yukgaejang and Kufteh in one day.Atlanta is still part of the South, and the South given its history tends to be ehhh…..racist. Or diplomatically speaking less exposed and thus unaware of certain openness to diversity.It really depends on what you can and are willing to have and give up. There are obvious advantages and trade-offs for living in either city. Some people like the LA lifestyle, some people prefer the less busier Atlanta vibe. At the end of the day, only you can decide which city is better to live in.
Is it worth it to move to LA to pursue a career in acting?
It depends on what your Adversity Quotient (AQ) is. If you are tough and can handle consistent rejection till you make it to the top then it is a great idea especially if you are very passionate about acting. If you are looking for just money though I would advise against it.StatisticsAccording to the Nonemployers Survey (NES) sector 71 (Arts, entertainment, and recreation) has one of the lowest overall income per business unit averaging only $25,398 per person (safe assumption that Hollywood contracting actors are shown in this data).Since we assume their are no employees for these units if we divide the overall receipts by the number of establishments in the sector you would get the average income per person, which is $25,398 (Keep in mind this does include part timers and NES business receipts must be at least $1,000 in order to be including in this statistic series).Of course if you make it big in Hollywood you could become a millionaire. It is a crap shoot, but if you are happy it would be absolutely worth it. If you don’t mind the grind. If you don’t mind waiting tables in hopes of shooting the moon….why not!

Im 16 in alaska when im 17 i want to live with my uncle in georgia and go to high school down there why cant I
All of my family lives in georgia, and ive lived in alaska all my life. I've been searching on google to see how old i have to be to live with my uncle, but nothing ever comes up. I want to live in georgia, but my parents say that i should finish high school then go to college down there, but i figured that since i have family down there i could finish high school down there, and go to college down there 2. georgia just fits my life style and alaska is just going to slow me down, i also met a girl in georgia, and we both really like each other. i just want to know how old i have to be to live down there, and if my parents can do anything to stop me, the schools up here stink and only half of the people who graduate each year go to college, and i might have better opportunities if i go to school and live with my uncle down in geogia. is it possible? or do i have to wait when im 17? I also turn 18 b4 my 2nd semester in december. So can i just fin my 2nd sem of my senioryear down there?
18 year old daughter wants to move in with her boyfriend?
My daughter has been very anxious to start college and live there for many years because my husband treats her like a slave and makes her miserable at home. She realizes that the college she wants to go to will most likely deny her because of her low SAT scores, but it will branch her so that she will have to commute for two years. Her boyfriend is also starting at the same college when she is and they want to find an appartment close to the school so that she won't have to live home. They would both split the rent money and her boyfriend works for his wealthy family business so they would be pretty well off as a young couple. (he is 20) Should I be okay with my daughter living with her boyfriend? thoughts?
