Starting a career can be difficult. It entails not only hard work but also certain sacrifices that have to be made on your part. One of these sacrifices is relocation. There are many specific professions that are concentrated in particular areas in the country. For example, most publishing houses are in New York while many actors find Los Angeles (film and television) and New York (theater) their home. If you really are serious in pursuing a career, then you might have to prepare yourself to move to where the action is. But bear in mind that competition in these places can be very stiff so it really doesn’t hurt to also have a plan B.
