I’ve been working in the food industry for about 3 years now, and the long hours, no prospect of upward mobility, and bosses (derogatory), I can safely say I don’t enjoy this anymore (not that I really did to begin with, just needed pocket money bro).
Luckily, I do have a considerable sum of money saved up over the years. I do have a business idea in mind which would be somewhat passive (mushroom growing), but I’m afraid that it would just be a money pit and I’d be worse off. On the other hand, there’s going back to school. I’m still young, but alas, the prospect of a student loan is not enticing at all.
I could do maintain the job, go to school, and do the mushrooming…in theory…but I do enjoy having time for the gym and just going out for hikes.
What seems like the best course of action?
Research the mushroom market to get a better idea of whether that will work.
Maybe there are courses which are free or price capped. Paying full fee is probably unwise if you are USian.
Secondly, beware of franchise sellers and you should avoid contracts which force you to buy all your supplies from the head company
