There are a lot of college grads, at all levels and all majors. Plus many do it full time eating a lot of the consumers at once. And a lot of clients seem to prefer experience (ugh) making starting super intimidating. Also all the companies, as you have experience with, pose a big problem as well as it's the safe thing to do.

If the two spectrums of tutors are overqualified and great marketers/personalities at a particular hourly rate, I tend to fall into the former, but with the latter it seems way more achievable to be balling as a tutor (feelsbadman)

That all sounds good. Thanks.

I mean, imma make something delicious with it but it's not going to be bacon.
Maybe it's a sign to stop eating pigs . I'm strongly considering doing instacart, but not sure if I'd make enough for it to be worth my time.

Because they're highly intelligent social creatures that have a higher level of consciousness than most realize. They're as smart as a human toddler. They're way way smarter than a dog and I could never eat a dog.

Oh, they also give you cancer

Or if you're in House of Pain or a Wisconsin Badger. You never eat a pig, because a pig is a cop . I personally don't like insulting pigs like that though.

telling him to open his own place and wing it is a recipe for disaster, even if it somehow does work as a business his employees will rob him blind without the franchise methodology if he's not physically there to operate the till

i have a lot of friends in the bar/restaurant ownership business and the main reason why even the wildly successful ones don't scale up and grow multiple locations is due to theft - if you have 3 locations, it's pretty much a given whichever you spend the least time actively running will coincidentally have the lowest overall sales so you'll need to bring in partners with profit sharing incentives strong enough to deter stealing and then you've basically cut yourself out and now have a whole lot more money invested for a massive liability/risk in multiple locations and yet your personal income only went up a small amount

it's absurdly easy to steal from restaurants and bars and if done intelligently is undetectable - food that isn't sold is often thrown out anyway and with alcohol it's super easy to just bring a case of whiskey in to replace the inventory and make it seem like nothing happened

it's at the point where a lot of bars actually have electronic spouts that measure how much is poured out so they'll even remember to pour from different bottles (ie only half get recorded as pours the other half of the drinks are poured from outside bottles)

restaurant business is tough and cut throat

every time you see a store with a "your item/food is free if you don't get a receipt" is because at an earlier point the management robbed that place blind and the owner still can't be around to manage the place and is counting on the customers themselves to rat out his stealing employees

Also use only the suppliers they authorize so you get gouged that way as well. This is pretty much applicable to any franchise, not just subway.

Anyways if you do the math, you're basically paying all this money to be at the store running it 24/7 to make minimum wage or something stupid like that.

So try again, the food business is insanely tough as it is.
15k for the fee

No, we're telling him not to do either. They are both terrible ideas.
