[Mita718]

Im a New Yorker moving to Southern California...Just wanted to try to get some information and advice about living over in California. Its a big thing moving from the East Coast to the West Coast. I just want to be prepared for anything.
I always like to do research on everything so I hope you guys can help me out.

Any Information and any advice will be appreciated!

Thanks a bunch !!!

That's like asking "tell me about life." Its a huge subject and everyone's going to have a different take on it. Do you have any specific questions? Are you moving here to work? What kind of work? Family? Single? Retired? What climate appeals to you? Desert? Beach? Urban? Suburban? I could go on like this forever. The search function's really good on this site.

I know what you mean? Well Im actually going to College over there. I guess I have the dream of many that move to California. My dream is becoming a film producer. I know its extremely competitive to get a job like that. But Im going to do my best.
Im a single female. Im only 20 but Im not into the party life style as of many others my age.
I went to the desert once. I didnt like it. I love the Beach, urban and suburban areas are good for me too.

Which college have you been accepted into?

I'm looking for advice from a female's perspective. I currently live in Kentucky and I'm wanting to move (right now I'm thinking Pennslyvania). But what I want advice on is how does a single girl move on her own, not knowing a soul, where she is moving too? How do you pick the state you want to move to?

Why do you want to move? What makes you think moving is a good idea?
Where can you find jobs?
