I'm 34 years old originally from Puerto Rico. I moved to NYC 6 years ago to pursue my passion in fashion. I got stuck in a pay-the-bills job for several years until I was able to start designing womenswear. Long story short, although I've had good feedback from people in general and people in the industry ,I haven't been able to sell any of my two collections. No longer having a pay-the-bills job and having spent all the money I had saved, I'm not only unable to continue to do more collections but my living situation has gone to a very very low point.
I'm a point of my life where I'm not necessarily too young to do risky moves, like find money I don't have and move to Europe and start a new life from scratch but I would love to have that opportunity. I have qualifications to work for any fashion company and have applied to so many jobs but no luck, being poor in NYC is like the worst place you could. Should I keep trying and stay or do a bold move and move to Europe? If so where to go and how to manage? I need a change in my life, for improvement, I need a chance of be happy. No, I'm not an European Union citizen, just American.
