Dropout and open Foodcart in NYC?

2L at Fordham. Top 20%. Didn't secure a SA position. 50K debt.

How fucked am I at this point? I'm thinking of opening a foodcart I have been designing for months now. I have some leftover loan money I could use to get this started.

I'm thinking Manhattan food cart. I have enough money to convert a truck of a family friend to a foodcart. I've worked in kitchens before.

Taking advice.

Well, first off, don't explicitly say you are using student loan money to open a food cart, because that would be illegal.

Not that I'm giving you legal advice. Consult a real attorney, yada yada.

Look at your user name and ask yourself, should a tree try to be a waterfall, or a waterfall a tree? Also, don't listen to me.

EDIT: I live in Houston and food carts are just beginning to boom here. If you're going to do something drastic, maybe think about moving across the country too.

I'm not sure what I'm going to specialize in yet.

I do know that many food trucks lack music.

I want to pull up to corners playing "Started from the bottom, now we here" by Drake.

It would get the people dancing and ready for food.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm going to withdraw/drop out on Monday.

Solid flame.

Go away.

Your writing style is eerily familiar.

We know what this is.
