[QUOTE="James, post: 7014, member: 2"] No that's not what I'm saying, in [B]my own[/B] opinion, college has become a joke. The idea is that you can't get a good job without a college degree, I call BS on that. My bro owns a successful company and he has no college degree. Same with my cousin, he didn't even finish high school, yet he currently owns 2 car lots. If I remember right my bro started when he was 21 and my cousin at 19, they're currently 23 & 22. What I was trying to say is that if you [B]do[/B] want to go the college you better do it [B]before[/B] you start your business. Because you won't have time for it during. Another thing to remember if you do end up going to college is all the student loans you'll have. :bonk: Does your mom and/or dad need a career change? Have you thought about making the business a S Corp (Or a LLC for that matter) and your mom/dad be your partner(s)? It would make it easier to get a loan and stuff, but like I said earlier; there goes part of the business you worked so hard for. Sounds like a plan. :thumb: Like Bruce aka Weathergeek said, [B]take it slow[/B] and make sure you have your plan figured out before you start spending money. Plus you'll have to wait until you're 18. The one thing I can't stress enough is how the business will take up most of your time. That girlfriend of yours, well you can probably say goodbye to her. So if you're ok with not having that much of a social life for months, probably years, go for it. :thumb: Bruce offered to help you out via PM or phone, I'd take him up on that. Or feel free to call/PM me, I think you still have my number. Like Bruce also said, get a mentor. I can't thank Pat enough for helping me out. I remember when he first offered to "mentor/help me/give advice/whatever" I was a little nervous . But now I think he talks with me more then his own kids. :smirk: (Sorry yama_dawgg :P) Thanks Pat :thumb: [/QUOTE]
