<p>I would think unless you already have some kind of amazing resume or an agent lined up and plenty of money to live on that moving to NYC straight out of high school is a very bad plan. Even graduates of BFA programs have a hard time making anything happen regarding agents and real opportunities once they get to the city. Also, I was told that the worst mistake new people make is being seen by agents before they are really ready to be seen, and she was talking about college acting and MT graduates.</p>
