I want to transition out of business banking and move into something in arts/entertainment. What should I do?
Q. I don't want to go back to school, I'm willing to take a pay cut, and I'm ready to relocate to the west coast. I enjoy the creative process, and have great ideas for films, graphic novels and gaming. How do you get into these things without school? What city is best for these goals?

Do you treat the arts as a form of entertainment, or a choice of career?
