I want to live and work in San Francisco or Los Angeles in when I graduate, how do I get there? I am computer science major, but my skills are very weak and I'm a 3rd year in a public university in Southern California.

Why do you want to live there?
You know it's one of the most expensive cities to live in, right?

hollywood fag
>have at least three months worth of living expenses saved up, ideally six months
>move there and sublet a spare bedroom for 3 months.
>apply for each and every job, entry level or not, just to make sure you get an income incoming
>from there start applying for jobs more within your field
>once you have steadyish income you can try and get your own apartment.
los angeles aint so bad. never tried san francisco but i hear its ridiculously expensive even compared to los angeles. but i also hear that is where ALL the new apps are being made, but idk if thats what you mean by computer science so i dont know.

I really like the culture there and the things you could do, I think it would be a great experience living there while I'm young.

Thanks, my job prospects are not too solid yet as I'm just beginning the major so I still do not know much what I can do.
>>16980135
Yeah I know it's really expensive l, but I think it would be an interesting way of life.

yeah man, you're in third year, people dont worry abotu job prospects yet, you havent even finished. this isnt some ivy league school where you all have jobs lined up before graduation.
trust me im a big planner but you are getting ahead of yourself.
if you ever wanna check out the city you're welcome to crash on my couch (and maybe let me suck ur dick)
>>16980173

>>16980182

Well that's just creepy.
>>16980186
I see, ok thanks!
I hope you have some work experience, it doesn't really matter what field (although tech is the obvious choice) minimum wage is already very high in sf. Work really hard and try to up your GPA in your last year. Save up money for rent, if you can find anything under $1000 you are considered lucky (that is with roommates of course). You will probably need two jobs to survive if you can't hack in the tech industry. Living in SF is expensive and you have to work hard, but it is fun. I hope you have something unique to offer though because it is very competitive out here and many techy transplant fucks can't make it (thank goodness).

How did you get to where you are now? What are some things you learned, thanks for the info!

1. Apply for jobs.
2. Get job.
3. Find someplace to live.
4. Move in
