well!! im as new to the place as you are.. that is why i asked and got suggestions from happy face and sahayog.
im pretty sure..it all depends on oneself. will there be work or not.. ? its hard to say coz i believe it just depends on you. forget what other people say.. (its hard to get work and stuff) .. all i can say is.. if you made a plan to go to NLC .. GO FOR IT! that is exactly what im doing.
 
friends are necessary but i guess in the end its just gonna be you..! so dont fret and remember.. when the going gets tough...tough gets going..!!

 all the very best.
