Xome,

If you think Journalism is having a hard time, wait till you see radio in LA. It is about ten thousand times worse. I'd do some solid research there first before you moved. Make some trips and find out what is going on first, or get with someone who is in that field. One of my friends here in Nashville moved from there after being in radio for 21 years.
Radio has shifted the way it does business with automation and downsizing of employees. So it is laying people off, not hiring.

Look around your area and see what the demand is there first before you try to make a huge move like that. You are going to need experience first and that usually comes through smaller markets first before moving to the major markets.

Everything in the music industry is changing the way it works and delivers it's product. All of this, from how songs are created, recorded, the way business is done and the changes going on, Taxi, Broadjam, etc. Are part of that discussion.

Try to find experiences that others have had before you and incorporate that into your thinking as you approach whatever you want to do. This is a natural evolution of communication. And everything that follows will be part of that evolution.

Don't try and pack up the Amish horse and buggy and try to get on the modern Interstate.
