What do I need to start a mobile food cart business?
I am 14 years old and located in the state of Arkansas. As far as I am aware, a person under the age of 18 does not need a business permit in my state. Regardless of that, what permits would I need to get for a mobile "make your own" charcuterie business? How would I draft up a business plan to show to people?

Is it okay to completely change career path?
I completed my bachelor's degree in Food Processing Technology in a Sri Lankan government university. However during my internship I realized that I hate working in a food processing factory, I don't like being in crowded or noisy places. And I realized that I really enjoy anything creative like graphic designing, video editing, photography, writing etc. I have now finished my degree but just the thought of getting a job in a food company make me sad and uncomfortable. Is it okay if I stop learning further and move into learning graphic designing and video editing? Will I be able to earn money in those areas?
