Wandering Adventure Party

I do not know anyone at my university that actually does this, but if it doesn’t go against the policy, I guess it may be worth a try.

I don’t think I’m really even near the level where I could do cooking classes. My mom is a lot better at cooking than I am (although I don’t think she would really support what I’m planning on doing).

So, I am a university student living in Canada and I just would like to earn some money. I have tried to look for a job, but haven’t been able to find one after searching for like 8 months (it’s really hard to find even an entry-level job here in Canada thanks to the government - some people I know have been looking for like 2 years now!). However, I was essentially forced to stop looking due to circumstances (I’d say mostly caused by parents forcing me to focus more on university and that I just couldn’t do both university and have a job and not fail my courses), so getting a job now really isn’t an option for me.

I was thinking of starting to bake and sell cookies during reading week and winter/summer breaks, either door-to-door or on sites like Facebook marketplace, but my parents have said that it was a bad idea, because it’s something that only kids do (which I don’t think is true today), and that I would need to be really good at baking in order to get sales (which they say I’m not but I don’t really think I’m really terrible at cooking and I think I’ve found an easy recipe online which I totally could do).

I’m not really expecting to earn as much as I would get working at a job, unless I manage to do really well, but I would really like to earn some money (and have some actual “work experience” to put on a resume).

I also live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and I’m pretty sure that in Ontario you don’t need to have a license to sell most low-risk items such as most cookies, muffins, and brownies (with some exceptions though), unless I am wrong though.

Does anybody here have any actual experience doing this? Would this be a good idea?
