Asking on behalf of a younger cousin: he's 18 and about to graduate high school this June, and is planning on taking a gap year. He has a lot of teenage experience in theater, music, etc. and is interested in working in the entertainment industry (his dad is a theatre manager in their small Midwest city). So basically he's a smalltown boy dreaming of the big city, and willing to slum it in his gap year just to get some basic work/city experience and then maybe go to college the following year. Pretty cliche stuff but he's into it. Can anyone recommend any articles/sites/etc that would be informative for him? Like if he has a few grand saved up, is it practical for an 18yr old to move to NYC with just a backpack and a duffle, and either find some kind of internship or starter job in the arts industry that pays at least survival amounts, and/or can find a basic labor job that's enough to afford cheap rent and groceries so he can do arts and network in his spare time? Really flexible kid, so he'd be fine living in one of those "six people sharing bunk beds in one room" kinda rental situation, just wants to not be homeless or starving and the rest is fine. I just don't know much about NYC so want to know where to send him to ask questions, or if there are some go-to articles for "so you're a smalltown boy/girl and want to move to the Big City and make a go of it" standard spiels.
