It's hot here and the tax is high.

To find a place to live: Go to http://losangeles.craigslist.org and look under Housing. You'll find ads posted by people looking for roommates and renting apartments, and browsing them is free. There's also Westside Rentals, but I think they charge a fee to use their service. To find a job: Again, Craigslist is a good place to start. But if you're looking for more part-time stuff, you might have to walk door to door to get it done faster. Some places don't even post jobs online.

ok someone recommended craigslist...but its alright..i wouldnt trust it this is what you need to kno about craigslist... u can find some legit ppl or some could just be weirdos trying to rape u or somesort....because anybody can post anything on craigslist...ANYbody! also yea u can also find jobs in craigslist. like i said some of them are legit but some other are scams if they ask u to pay a fee or whateveer its most likely a scam... most of them that are legit requires experience! so anyways... Housing: i would recommend that look around your college..they should have a bullentin around there with students posting rooms for rent..i attend Cerritos College, i know its a community college, but by our game room they have a bullentin, and it has all kinds of post for students who need rooms by the school...so im pretty sure they should have some right there, if you cant seem to find it, ask an adminstator they should know.. also if you go to like super markets u can see posting of rooms for rent..some might be students but sometimes families post them because their rent is to high..e.g my bf mom owns a house but since the mortgage is too high she rents the back part..everytime someone moves out, she rents it really fast i gues because her neiborhood is alright.she lives in the good side of lynwood... like right now she has a student renting tha back but the lady has like three kids... but yea getting back to the subject... Jobs: I would recommend the good o fasion way, go ask. You can try the fox hills mall in Culver City or the Creshaw Mall, the creshaw mall is alright just be careful if you are caucasian, indian, or asain, we are mainly use to africans and mexicans...they are alot of rude african americans that go to the creshaw mall or you can try snagajob.com it mainly post jobs from big compainies e.g taco bell, jiffylube etc or Carreerbuilder.com

colleges.mywebcommunity.org - I found such internship info here. It has lots of internships, job openings and scolarships for college students.

A lot of the internships at studios are only for college students. The best way to get in is knowing someone at the studio, or if your school has a connection to the studio. Some high schools have programs where you can get internships that usually only college students can get if they applied directly to the studio. Does your school have a job counselor? Ask them. If there is no job counselor, ask the person who handles the student job permits. Do you have a film makers club or class like they do at my son's school? Ask the teacher who runs the class. Network, the more people you tell what you're looking for, the better chance. (Lots of internships are like producer 1 hires producer 2's relative or friend, and producer 2 hires producer 1's relative or friend.) Some internships you might find on your own, like with small independent companies, are with sort of creepy people, so be careful, let your parent check out the situation. Google: movie industry internship Wade through all the websites. But remember, make sure your parent approves of the situation. Some internship info: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Burbank-CA/Warner-Bros-Internships/39356491498 http://www.warnerbroscareers.com/Search/ http://www.nbcunicareers.com/internships/la_ny_area/ http://abc.go.com/site/faq (General > #6) http://corporate.disney.go.com/careers/students.html http://www.cbscorporation.com/diversity/cbs_network/internships/index.php How to find an Internship: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/plan/high-school/8382.html My son has been interning for a well known production company during the summer since 8th grade.

Are you looking at private high schools, or public? If public, you may not have much of a choice, beyond your family choosing where to live. If you are looking at private schools, Harvard/Westlake, the Brentwood School, the Archer School for Girls, the Marlborough School, and Marymount High School are good. For private schools, I hate to say it, but most of the L.A. Unified schools are terrible. Of them, the best seem to be in the San Fernando Valley. For example, El Camino Real High School, Taft High School, and Moorpark High School have repeatedly had teams who won the national academic decathlon. Palos Verdes High School is also supposed to be pretty good. When you say "universal", do you mean universities? There are a number of them, depending upon what kind of student you are. Cal Tech is one of the best universities in the country. UCLA and USC, along with the Claremont Colleges, have very strong national reputations. Occidental College and Loyola Marymount are regionally strong.

The best advice I got when I was looking was to try and bar back somewhere first or volunteer your time and get some experience. Most of the time bars don't care about your credentials so school turns out to be a waste of time and money. They want to see that you have actual real life experience. I would recommend memorizing as many drinks as you can and looking at a free bartending online tips types thing. Watch the bartenders at your local bar, ask questions and see if you can start barbacking somewhere to get your foot in the door. Good luck!

Pay varies depending on the district you work for, and if your school is private, charter or public. I work in LAUSD, the biggest district in california - it covers most of Los Angeles. Pay is the same for elementary or secondary. I teach middle school and this is my pay chart: http://certificated.lausd.k12.ca.us/Research/documents/salarytables/ttableannual.pdf So take the amount and divide by 12 - we get paid monthly. good luck!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH that's HILARIOUS! why would you take it there? And I'm sure you're fine....it doesn't really matter who else is in the room or where you take it as long as you do well, right? They would have told you if there was an issue with boys coming (and the SATs are on Saturday so it's not like school will be in session anyways) Just focus on studying. (and maybe you'll get lucky and some of the girls will be boy-deprived!) Good luck!

No, not a problem at all. The school is just being used as a facility for the SAT, it's not like you're attending the school. Really, don't feel uncomfortable and don't worry about it, it's not a big deal at all. Kids sign up for whichever location and date works for them, there will be lots of other guys there. And if you're still nervous, consider how structured taking the SAT is, the strict rules, etc. Of course they would have mentioned if it was a girls only SAT. If you don't believe me, call them. SAT Program Customer Service (866) 756-7346 M - F 5am to 6pm PST (8am to 9pm EST) But trust me, dude, I'm a mom. Good luck!

Uh i go there. Um, the school's going thorugh some rough times. Like go there if you wanna do the arts. Academics aren't too amazing. There's lots of shakeups in administration. Email me if you wanna know more...I'll be glad to tell you more stuff about the school cause i dont really wanna type EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT IT without specific questions. ....... In my opinion, its not as amazing as it seems.... It's average, but good for arts. There is no school bus transportation to get there. You must get trasnportation yourself. Also, its hard to get in if you don't live in the area. LAUSD mandated that 70 percent of the studetns must come from the immediate area of the school. and it's extremely late to apply. you can still try to though. if you live in the area, you apply thorugh the belmont zone school of choice i think? if not, its a whole different application. I woudln't know too much because when i applied, you basically just had to write a letter to the school about wanting to go there.

I think the person you were talking to meant in case you become involved with a legal matter that occurs in the school. Like, if example, a parent decides to sue you for something that occurs in the classroom, the district will provide you with an attorney to help in the proceedings. I could be wrong, though, but I've never heard of a district having employee discounts for lawyers for other issues.

Sometimes unions provide legal insurance or at least discounts for their members. You could try calling your union.

You can't get into a nursing internship unless you are a current nursing student. Internships are typically offered in the summer to nursing students who are one year away from graduating from their nursing program and earning their license. They do not take high school students. I would suggest looking into getting certified as a nursing assistant and just getting a summer job working as a CNA.
