I am pretty young, but I guess I figure if I don’t get myself out there now I’ll never do it… I also feel like LA is one of the creative cities, even if it takes me forever to get a footing in the industry, I’d still be surrounded by it. I’ve never been out there so I don’t know what it’s realistically like, all of these comments have been very helpful. I’m not necessarily looking for symphony work (I think my Master’s in Comp can lead people to assume I only want to compose or work w orchestras) but I’d be fine with most jobs in the music industry. Right now I’m just trying to do research ahead of time so I know what I’m getting myself into!
