this is really heartbreaking for me to read...I am in the EXACT same position as you...part time model...I dropped out of my film and tv college course after meeting a famous music producer from Hollywood LA, stupid I know, I thought he would make all my dreams come true but he has massive moral standards and wants me to try to grow up to be independant without asking him for too much financial help. He is always on tour and we barely get to see each other so I don't think marriage is an option anytime soon ha... I had asked him to employ me as one of his assistants or someone to work for him so that I might have a hope of getting sponsered and get to go over there. Unfourtunately, he already has a large team that work for him and yes, with the huge budget cuts in the industry and the economic state the way it is, things look grey...I too am looking for a job at the moment, I am 19 btw, and currently living off job seekers allowance. Its absolutely crap. I am in such a state of depression I don't know which way to turn, and with my parents telling me I will never make it there it does not help...I have exceptional writing ability, I had hoped to write for a magazine out in LA perhaps, but again, another tough and competitive field right?
I have a small question for people who might be able to help, I was told it wouldn't matter because I never broke any laws, but in terms of my posibilities of eduction in america if i can aqquire the money, at the age of 16 I went on a student exchange service and was supposed to be living in ohio to attend high school out there for a year. The family they stuck me with were unhygenic and racist, generally the most hick family you could have, plus I was living in theghetto and my parents had paid an insane price for this (ACES- never go with them) I was not the only student there struggling with the placement and felt that the host family were only in it for the money. They showed little to no intrest in having me there. Tensi
