I was hoping to finally live alone, but I'm not sure if I would end up getting too solitary and lose all my money. Since I've never actually not lived with other people, I'd be fine with it. There were a few places I had my eye on, but yeah, majorly expensive; so I guess it'd be cool to live with people who know the town anyway.
Is it possible, do you think, to commute from the bottom of Oakland or something? Or maybe the public transport/petrol costs would outweigh the living expenses.
I'm sort of a technical generalist at the moment. Just finishing my BA on Computer Visualisation and Animation, and in my incredibly biased opinion, I feel like I'll be able to create a good enough portfolio to get hired at a minimum of 30 or 40 grand. Of course I have no real experience of finding a job, especially abroad, so I may be in for a smack in the face from what happens.
I know about two different types of work visas, and their low amount. Still though, might as well try my hardest.
