<prompt> Human: So I went to college for a year and didnt do very well. I decided that I should take a year off to gain some life experience. I have a few friends in New York, but I figured it would be the right place to try and start over. I might be in over my head though. I have some experience in the foodbev industry but I have no idea how I would go about setting up a job or apartment. I guess I just need a bit of guidance. Any suggestions that would help me survive?  <response>: Youre setting yourself up for a lot of debt or homelessness if youre moving to NYC with no real skills or experience.
