Now i am a Junior college stduent .but i come to hate my major so that i am not good at it .maybe i won't find a job related to my major after i graduation . I want to open my business ,even i plan to leave university now .i don't want to work for my boss ,because the salary is very low and i have no free . in my opinion if you want to a rich man ,the only choice is to open business .but i have no enough money and experience to run it ,so i do not know what i should do . my firends ,can you give my some suggestions ?

Many millionaires quit school and went to start their own business when they were young, so, I don't think it's a big deal for you to quit. Because the college graduate is very common nowadays. But the enterprenere is rare! If you choose a good project you like, and you have all the resource to collect, and you believe it's the right time for you to start the business right now.Then quit! But, one more thing, no matter which way you choose, please don't waste time, if you are still study in college, then study well, OK?

Hi, I'm also considiering starting my own business at some point. I think that you have to be aware of that even if it can make you rich at some point you will have to work day and night in the start. You're mentioning the fact that you don't have any money to start with wich can be a problem but if you have family members you maybe can ask them for an interest free loan. If you want to gain more experience I can suggest you to try to work as a general worker in a couple of different jobs and try to learn as much as possible during the time... Good luck!

Having "no free" I suppose free time you mean? That's something which you should definitely keep in mind that with your own business and especially when setting it up you'll have even less. A normal full time job is around 36~40 hours, but own bosses tend to work at least 60 in a week in order to keep their business running. Personally I'd say it be wiser to finish your master degree and then you can always still set up your own business. With a higher degree the bank will most likely be more willingly you give you a loan for setting up your own business as well and money is definitely something you'll be needing as well.
