Employment / Re: Going to NYC?

Thanks to everyone for their input!  I suppose the desire to go to NYC is just one of those crazy young people things.  It's a confusing time right now, trying to decide between doing something I love and doing something more practical (that I like but not love).  Thanks again!

Employment / Going to NYC?

« on: Nov 21, 2007, 12:31 pm »

So, I am currently a Stage Management student and will be graduating with my BFA in Stage Management in about 3 weeks (Ah!).  I have been toying around with many options and one of those is going to NYC and starting my life there.  I have a deep passion for theatre, and NYC is the best place for that (to me, anyways).  But, of course, that's where everyone goes.  I have a lot of experience stage managing here at my University, but no professional experience.  What should I be expecting if I move there?  Would I even be abel to find work? 

My other option is a Business Graduate School.  I'd be earning a Masters in Computer Information Systems.  This, of course, is a more secure job, but I'm not sure if my heart is in it.  Would it be more beneficial for me to go to NYC now or after grad school (with the intent to stage manage)? 

I could really use some advice, as my parents are not very unbiased advisors.  Thanks!
