Has anyone gone to a career college such as UEI or ICDC in the Los Angeles area?

We Answered:

Do not go to either one.
Just go to a community college and then transfer to a better school.

I went to UEI my teacher was fired half way through it.
He was passing people who bribed him.
I did not get a job after graduating nor did they offer to help me.
They're asking me to file for unemployment.
They send you to do "on the job training" where you don't get paid at all and have a 50% chance of getting hired.

I had a friend who went to ICDC and he also had no luck there. Just a waste of time and money.

What areas in Los Angeles should I focus my search for an apartment?

We Answered:

First of all, I congratulate you on coming out here with some money.
Understand the unemployment rate is the highest in the country.
Understand if you don't have the education or experience, the odds are stacked against you.
That understood, consider the following:
Try to live as close to where you work as possible.
As you don't know where you're going to be working, consider Burbank/No Ho/Sherman Oaks area. It's where a lot of the industry jobs are.
Do NOT put 6 months rent down on an apartment. It's not required here, nor is a lease. There are plenty of apts going begging, so don't lock yourself into anything. Consider a roommate situation until your settled.
Register with the Spherion agency, as they recruit for Warner Bros. Also troll http://entertainmentjobs.com/ for job listings.
$1125 a month is doable, but a little low. You may have to consider a single temporarily.
Good luck.

Where is a good location in Los Angeles to live?

We Answered:

I was recently in LA for work and I loved Silver Lake, Hollywood (more low key than you'd think if you are in the right areas), Los Feliz, Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach. I don't live in LA but I have used http://www.hubbuzz.com/LosAngeles/MetroA… a lot when looking for a new neighborhood or apartment in Denver to move into. The site is great, they have every neighborhood in LA on a map and they also have photos, a neighborhood write up, maps, hotspots, apartments for rent, blogs and a Match me quiz that will match your personality type to neighborhoods and apartments. If nothing else, it is great for researching neighborhoods. They also have a ton of great apartments in Denver so they probably would in LA too. Good luck!

Real estate development internship in los angeles, california?

We Answered:

FYI, Real Estate Development Internships would not be an office type job; you would be laboring in trenches on jobsites.

But then, these days, even site superintendents are doing that; to keep their paycheck....
