Learn to market the skills you've earned. For fuck's sake, don't discredit the work you've done. Few know of the MASSIVE amount of work involved in a (inb4memetier) liberal arts degree... take those experiences that you've had to work so much harder than your peers and fucking market them.
...unless you are actually a worthless pos, then kthxbai.

>I'm saving up to visit NYC for a few months after I graduate, I want to find a way to stay. What are my chances?
You posted this the other day didn't you? Forget living in New York until you've got connections there man. I told you: start off in Georgia or Louisiana where there's actual productions


>Shadow a Grip, be his assistant, never be out of work. Save your bucks.
>Do same thing with a Gaffer or Electrician
>Take out a loan, buy a Blackmagic camera and a couple of cheap but good looking vintage lenses, rent out your kit and start out your production company. If you're industrious eventually people will pay for you to shoot commercials or content IN NYC.
>Get work at an marketing agency or PR company making in-house videos? (good place to make connections)

START CALLING AND EMAILING.

Carl Ichan studied philosophy, a degree with less marketable skills than film and look how many billions he's worth now. Literally no excuse.

I should add, those greentext suggestions, are things you can do in your own country as soon as you graduate.

Not even worthless man you need to make connections and get into the union.

>Doing Risk Assessment Matrices for each environment and activity (Your actor gets on a skateboard, and he's 55, okay, well, now write a essay about how you'll avoid him breaking his ankles)
>Coordinating travel for cast and crew
>Getting props and costumes made on time, to fit actors and match aesthetically and color wise (can't have something too dark or it won't expose well)
>Going to Armorers and getting forms for gun rental (all student films have guns and drugs in them)
>Maxing out your three credit cards to pay for that Red Scarlet camera and grip rental
>Building Sets
>Setting up lights, packing them down in time allowed
>Tearring down sets because other students use the studio in only 2 days
>Scheduling filming days with turnarounds that fit within labor laws
>Then illegally working hours overtime because you didn't get all the shots you wanted

there's probably other things I don't care to rememebr

No. Did you even fucking read the list?
Where the fuck did you get coffee running? What fantasy land are you living in?
I've seen guys with calloused hands because of all the shit they did on their student films.
