Real world experience is what will teach you, I thought I had it together, and I did; but there are a lot of things about the proper use of leverage, the right amount of leverage, and comfort with myself and everything around me. I skipped college, and I couldn't be happier, instead of spending money and missing out, I am making money, while securing a healthy future for myself and my family.

Go to college, and learn the art of business. Taking chances is always good, but have precautions is better. Good luck with whatever you do!

College is a must,,,then do your business,,,,you can take a lot of courses that will put you 100 times ahead of the game
with your business ,,,,,,also take some tax courses,,,,

This way when you start out you can do almost everything for yourself ,,,,,then when your set you can pay someone to do it for you,,,,,,,,,,

Continue with as much school as possible. It will make you the best possible business person as well as build your respect in the work force. Congrats to you and your strong drive for success. I know you will achieve it.

Go to a good business college, therefore you can improve your skills and learn some tricks in business.


tselliot12
Well i would go to a business college and get a business degree that way it's something you enjoy and you learn how to be a wise and experience businessperson, plus you have a better chance of having a successful business if you go to college and are educated on that aspect.


Duc
If you have a solid business plan and believe you can do it, go for it.

dude, go to college, it is not as easy as it seems

You will need to finish up your education in collage. Not only to know how to do your business the right way, but your certificate will earn you the respect of others that you deserve. You need to show proof to others that you seriously know what you’re doing! That way, they would trust you and work with you.

Best of luck!

Hey! I'm 17 too, and also really interested in business! But its REALLY IMPORTANT you go to college. Business involves a lot of chance and luck. If you screw up, you'll be stuck in nowhereland without any degrees and any job. Besides, if you don't go to college, people won't take you seriously regardless of your age. And you still have a lot to learn! Good luck!! :]

Lets look at the pros and cons of each option.

Going to College
PRO
Expand your horizons, obtain a degree
Have some fun
Spend money

CON
Lost time staying out of workforce
Lost opportunity to live at home during the first few years of the startup.

Starting business
Pro - You can live at home while business is in startup phase, if it fails, you are not going to become homeless

Con- If it does fail, you just lost time that you could have spent in college.

Depending on the business, you are going to need capitol. If you need to go to a bank, they will require co-signers. Banks will take you a lot more seriously with a college degree.

Most businesses fail, but if you stay at home, then the failure is benign...

Go to college- then start a business. College will give you the tools that you need to be taken seriously.

i think if u were clever as u say u should have known that u should continue ur education most important than business now but u can do both at the same time but if i were u i'd continue through college then think about business. College is a big experience that u will blame ur self for not choosing it later if u don't choose it now....

Go to college and get to know all your business professors (I'm assuming that's what you'll study.) The things you learn and the contacts you make will be of great benefit to you when you do start a business. Who knows, you may be able to start one while you're in school. If the classes bore you, think of the networking you'll be doing.

College will be worth 10 years experience, which you will need some by working for others.

You will have many problems to overcome, trying to begin an entriprise at 17.
You may need credit with suppliers, advertisers, building leases among a few.
These are slim to none for your age.
I commend you for your ambitions but you will be more likely to succeed with college under your belt, and/or some experience in your chosen fileld.

Writing a business plan is only one facet of business. Although this is an absolute necessity to obtain any financing, it is not imperative to begin a business, without financing.
This is not to say that you shouldn't write a plan. This would be an outline of your goals.

There are many other facets that are necessary to become successful.

The US has this web site for Americans. It's SMB, Small Business Administration. You can google that and have access to a plethora of information.
There is also a link, SCORE, which has several business plans/templates that you can use. They are on Excel, if you have that.

They offer free counsling for American Citizens, but you may find all else to be helpful.
This is the URL for SCORE.
http://www.score.org/template_gallery.html

You must learn how to prepare an inventory, sales plans, Turnover, along with planning inventory assortment. If you're considering the Fashion business, it can be rewarding but critical planning and control are a must.
You need a full understanding of markup percent, markdowns, fixed expenses, descretionary expenditures, employee relations, etc, etc.
All financial reports/plans are a necessity.

Good luck and follow your dream.

Go to college and take up business. u dont have to go to a 4 yr college,. doing this will help u gain the behind the scenes knowledge so that u know what to do one u get oout there. but its ok to put ure biz plan together and once u complete school u may c somethings u want to alter or improve


Heimler
Go to College, while your there get laid and start that business.

Getting a degree can be a very good fallback if your business fails.


zmamasita
Why not do both?
Start a company, and take college part time (like 10 hours a week of class?)
