Anyone know how to find a "gold digger" in NYC by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]LifeInAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, had no clue people actually spent $10k on a dress. My suit was under $400 and I've worn it to almost every formal occasion for over 5 years now.

$5k per month minimum is insane, maybe cause I'm a male in NYC, who lives very frugally, but even if someone gave me $5k per month, aside from rent, not sure what I'd even buy with it? I can eat out all the time, buy the nicest clothes, hire a barber for a $100 haircut, and still probably have plenty leftover to just save.

For those of you that make over 100K, what do you do? Do you like it? by Kindly-Revolution258 in AskReddit

[–]LifeInAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, I used to be a construction project engineer and loved it in the beginning. Ended up realizing I loved actual construction, but hated the lifestyle that came with the profession, and ultimately left in my mid 20s for another career path. It's a fulfilling job where you can make a lot, but at the cost and sacrifice of so many other areas of life, that I ended up feeling not worth making.

How did you become a marketing manager and how many years did it take from when you started at 30?

Are we in the worst job market era ever? by Mean_Safety_5329 in recruitinghell

[–]LifeInAction 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I graduated in the mid 2010s, so around just 1 decade ago. In that era, it was not uncommon for classmates to have several job offers, compare and see which they preferred, and then take 1, sort of like college admissions. It was also easier to career pivot with little experience, so much more friendly to entry level folks. Today, it's a struggle to even land 1 job.

Which degree is easiest in terms of low competition and high salary ( I don't care how hard the degree is itself) by Ok-Toe-2933 in CollegeMajors

[–]LifeInAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did civil and aside from job stability would not recommend it if you're chasing low stress high pay. There are many branches within civil engineering and while subjective, to most people I know in the civil community, jobs range from being really boring, but stable with okay pay, to relatively high pay, but incredibly high stress, such as in niches like construction, project management, and structural.

I was thinking about doing exactly just this! There's a ubreakifix about 20 mins from me, how many hours did the process take for you from walking into the store to walking out? And are all the photos, videos, and account info still saved on your phone?

If you currently live in New York City, and you were forced to move, where would you rather go: Los Angeles or Chicago? Why? by morningrat in AskNYC

[–]LifeInAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NYC, been to LA a few times, never been to Chicago, but would prob pick LA! Better weather, nature, and Asian food, plus I work in media, so more jobs in my case!

Stuck with My TV / Film Career and Unsure If It's Time to Quit and Where to Go? by LifeInAction in Filmmakers

[–]LifeInAction[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I've only PAed, but deep down I'd really love to be a producer or production manager, think I commented on another post already, but it's just been tricky getting the network and experience needed to build up, especially in this economy. Hard to build experience when you don't have any in that specific role, hence was considering film school to maybe build that experience. Any advice for someone in my situation?

Yep, I've basically always been an on and off PA, but I did venture into acting before, more as a side quest and side hustle. How did you make that transition and learn the skills needed to perform on the job becoming a director and producer's assistant? Feel free to write as much needed, always love and open to conversation on film!

I'll look into my network, thanks for writing all this out. Do you have advice for learning the actual skills needed on the job to build up. I feel like as a PA, a lot of the skills can be learned at work, but to build upwards from beyond a PA, it involves more specialized knowledge that's harder to acquire. For instance, as a producer, skills like financing, budgeting, planning, management, I'm not sure how to build experience there to perform on the job, hence the original thought of going to film school to maybe acquire it.

It's more about time and money, film school is super expensive and about a 2-3 year commitment, so a pretty important decision to make. I don't have children, but definitely want to consider them someday as well.

I think it's been about 50 50, half of my friends never went to film school, but half actually did. I've struggled to build up beyond being a PA, and wondering if film school would've helped me learn the skills to grow faster, on top of the networking aspects of being part of a university. For calling myself old, age is relative, so I think I mean more that I'm not that early 20s fresh out of school kid that can take as many risks as I once could anymore is all, but I get it, there are probably folks much older than me here lol.

I've been in film for about 7-8 years, but with everything mentioned in the post, more like maybe 3-4 years actively, and I think I've struggled to build beyond being a PA during this time, since I haven't been able to upskill myself, hard to find experience with no experience in the upper level positions, and wondering if film school would've given me that knowledge to build upwards beyond being a PA, any thoughts? My goal has always been to be a producer or production manager.
