The fabulous life of...Andrew Hudson?!

I just finished watching "The fabulous life of..." show.  The episode was about celebrities' business ventures.  Once they have the famous face, they can do whatever they want.  For example, the most ridiculous one,  Jay-Z now has his own color.  Yes, Jay-Z blue. If someone wants to purchase a Jay-Z blue bike, he gets a percentage. This color could be put on any product. I'm not sure what would be the andrewgangsta color, but it would be titled andrewgangsta dats fo sho. I've never decided on a favorite color, honestly. Ask me next time you see me. I won't know.
Mariah Carey has her own wine. Pharell has his own high end clothing line. Jackie Chan has restaurants all over the world (all his earnings go to charities which is cool). Jessica Simpson gets an absurd amount of money from Proactive.  She has dump trucks of cash in her 20 car garage. k maybe not. She also has clothing lines but they were barely worth mentioning because she only gets a few million for those.  I don't even want to talk about P. Diddy's top selling cologne.
During a commercial break I got up to make a pretzel, two pretzel's with some honey mustard. It's what I used to eat everyday after high school, man I miss.. sike i don't miss high school.  As I got up I felt slightly depressed. It seems so easy for these people to make money. I'm going to school, they probably didn't, I'm going to be in deep debt for school, and they can make millions through branding.  When I finish school, If I get a job, in journalism, it won't pay well.  
I asked my advisor about law school, because I am concerned about money.  He (Dean Nelson) said every lawyer he's ever talked to was miserable.  He said, I should worry about quality of life, family, enjoying what I do. Money doesn't equal happiness.  
But I'd probably be happy, at least for a little while, if I had my own color. andrewgangsta _____     red ? yellow? sky blue? Fuschia?  Probably Fushcia.
