Do u think I can study fashion at Philadelphia, and later work at New York

Do u think I can study fashion at Philadelphia, and later work at New York?
I live at Philadelphia, and my mom wouldnt like me to move out of here and move to New York for college all by myself. Can I learn fashion marketing/merchandising at Philadelphia first, and then move to work in New York? Will I never be able to get a decent job position at New York, just becos I graduated at Philadelphia?

It has nothing to do where you graduated, its about your skills... you can graduate from anything you want and still get a job anywhere you want. all you need to have is good skills and show good performance in your work. Yes, you can learn it at your hometown and let on you can move to NY =D

Considering the terrorist threat, is it rational to work in New York City?
Are there any respected scholarly articles that argue it is rational to continue to work in New York City?

Terrorist threat from whom, the growing Police State in our country???
2 :
I'd be more concerned about california around the year 2012. They are due for a massive earthquake.
3 :
I am not aware of such writings, but this is a personal decision for each person who chooses to stay in ANY metro area. It just stands to reason, however, that our major cities with the high-value targets will almost certainly again be targeted. This is how terrorists gain strength...they make a big "splash" for the greatest publicity with the least investment. That is much more likely to occur in such places as New York City.
4 :
As a New Yorker I can only ask is it rational to live and work any where else? Califronia: Earthquakes and a Governor who talk funny Texas: The death penalty for speeding Florida: Hurricanes and the inability to count Iraq: If your neighbors don't kill you, your family will Iran: See above Minnesota: So much snow and an ex-governor who talks funny England: Bad Teeth, Bad Weather, bad Food Maryland: My son's mother. Colordao: School shotings and the most indept police force ever (hey guys Jon bennets mother did it...geez) China: No Freedom, too many people Seriously I could go on and on but the real answer was given more then 50 years ago by FDR "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" So if you are a New Yorker, man up and deal with it. I rather have New York be the target then some poor city that can't take it. We're tough around here 9-11 showed that. Knock us down and we will get right back up and spit in your eye

My opinion =NO. If they set explosives in the right places it may cause a domino affect and what better place in New York to make a big splash.
6 :
I'm from Canada and I agree with "Thomas G." 100%. If another strike does take place, it will probably be in a little hick town out west, just to throw everyone off.
7 :
I'm not American but I live in NYC and I feel that It's one of the safest places in the world
8 :
Even NOT considering a terrorist threat it is not rational to work in NYC......

you've got to be nuts to want to work in new york.

Work in New York City, live in New Jersey. Don't own a home. Which state do I file taxes for

Work in New York City, live in New Jersey. Don't own a home. Which state do I file taxes for?
I live in New Jersey, I'm Single and live with my parents so I don't pay rent. However I work and receive all of my income from New York. I've also changed jobs towards the end of last year but both jobs were located in New York City. Should I file for New York or New Jersey?

Lucky you-you'll probably need to file both. You'll need to file the NY return as a non-resident (I believe there's a NYC income tax return as well). Then, when you file NJ, there should be a form to attach that will show NJ how much income tax you've already paid to NY. It will be kind of a pain, unless you're really good with tax stuff. If you're not, a Jersey preparer will be able to help you without too much difficulty. Of, if you're a hands on kind of guy, buy Turbo Tax, get your NJ state download for free, then pay for the NY download (I think it's about $30). TurboTax can handle a multi-state return reasonably well.

new jersey
3 :
I believe there is also a NYC tax, so you will have to file that also.
4 :
You must file in both New York and New Jersey. You are a resident of New Jersey and need to file a non-resident return for NY State (IT-203). You pay taxes on the income you earned in NY and get a credit for that amount when you file in NJ. On your NJ return, you would be responsible for the taxes on things like taxable interest and investments, which would not be taxable in NY.
5 :
You need to file both.
6 :
New York City taxes are included as part of the NY state return, so you don't need to file a separate NYC return. You will need to file a NY return as a nonresident, and a New Jersey return as your primary state income tax. You should probably do the NY State return first, as the amount you have to pay to New York (state and city) may be deductible from from your New Jersey return.

if you want to move to NYC then all you education was worthless why would anyone want to move there.
2 :
There's basically every job imaginable in NYC - all of which have different qualifications. It's absurdly expensive to live there though, so I wouldn't really recommend just moving there without a better idea of what you're going to do.
