Employment struggles of a broke boy in NOLA

New Orleans, Louisiana is one of the top food spots in the world. The Big Easy attracts people from all over the world to experience its timeless style as jazz plays from open bars and painters sell their wares on street corners, or out of small stores they scraped and hustled to rent. The FQBA reports that New Orleans hosted 10.45 million people, who spent a whopping 7.41 billion dollars within the city limits. The city has developed a "melting pot" culture, where the sacred and the secular rub shoulders every day, as street performers perform and mediums conduct palm readings and lay out tarot cards a block away from St. Louis Cathedral. Foodies abound as many members of the international and local communities alike come for the culinary blend of cajun seasonings on an eclectic sampling of food, with options as varied as escargot and alligator. The Washington post has named New Orleans the number 4 city in the country for its food, and who can blame them, with renowned chef Emeril calling this marvelous town home, and hundreds of aspiring culinary savants reside within the city limits, cooking in diners and dive bars, waiting for the day they can build a franchise out of their brilliance. While New York states proudly: "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!", New Orleans comes up to you, puts a friendly arm around your shoulder and says: "You can make it here, kid." So here is a quandry for all of you clever people out there: Why is it I can't get a job?
