I mean, I can see the importance of a business degree if I were to go in to corporate business but I just don't see why I need one for running a small business since I'll be learning everything on the job.
Anyone mind chiming in?  |
Ask your mother what she thinks. If she's been running the business for years, ask her what it takes. You can always go to an Adult Ed class and take a course in Quickbooks. The rest of running a business comes down to many many factors. I think dealing in precious metals these days has some serious potential for excitement. Good luck.
