How to get started vending?

Hey, long-time lurker here. I've acquainted myself decently with some of the DNMs and opsec, etc. and was considering vending because there's no way I can afford to go back to school and basically re-start my education without my own cash due to circumstances I won't detail here. Could anyone point me in the right direction for moving from a buyer to a seller? NOT ASKING FOR SOURCES JUST INFO OK THANK I've been feeling really in the dumps because my current legitimate income will never really fund a degree and the last thing I want to do is work as some minimum wage grunt for the rest of my life.

I'll leave my PGP key here just in case, idk if I'm being paranoid:

No shame in solid blue collar careers. They are importing electricians into my state from other states because the schools cannot create them fast enough. Master tradesman (hvac, elec, plumbing, etc.) make legit 100+k/yr. Honest work for honest pay. Hell, mechanic, solar engineering, etc there are tons of 'trade schools' that will get you working fast once you graduate.

If that isn't your thing, try your hand at technical work. Some places require degrees, but if it makes sense to you sofware development work can be a great choice that doesn't require a degree either. Check out udacity, stackskills, udemy, khan, etc for free and cheap learning resources.

lol dude you need money to buy enough product to start vending plus backup money in case shit goes wrong and you'd need money for equipment too. It's not like you can just snap your fingers and start vending. Unless you have like $30k right now to make a solid investment in your operation, you're not gonna make it. Trust me dude. Most vendors (or at least all the successful ones) have been in the game for years and have been through a lot to get to where they are now and it takes a long time to get to that point. Some of them have been involved in the online drug game since before SR even existed.

Have you ever considered that you may not even need college? Everything you learn in a college course you can teach yourself if you are able to read and understand what you're reading. There are PDFs of most books that are actually used in universities that you can download for free*. Instead of spending the time and effort to learn how to vend, you can start working through books that are relevant to what you wanted a degree in. You shouldn't let your financial situation stop you from learning if you can; and you can. Yes, you won't have that piece of paper at the end but if you put forth enough effort you'll have the skills required to perform, and a portfolio of what you are actually capable of on your own goes a long way to make you stand out among people who just have a degree.

WELCOME TO REAL LIFE, KID. Seriously though. Don't get so down on yourself. You never know what the future holds, and if you have the ability to change. You dont have to work minimum wage forever. You can advance in your degree, or pick up a new trade. But I'm sorry to say that Vending is just nice to fantasize about but not realistic. You are in a whole new fucking world and will have to change the way you do everything because you will be engaged in illegal activity. You don't want that. You can improve your life in other ways. And it sounds gay but one of the first way is changing the way you think. A little positivity goes a long, long way bro. I wish you the best.
