Hi everybody. I have a little situatation. I have a B.A. in English, and I'm 8 classes away from getting my Masters. My problem is that I really only majored in English because I like to read and write, and even though I have enormous respect for those in education, I really don't think I want to teach. I think that since I am so close to graduating, I will go ahead and get the masters, but what am I going to do? I have always seen myself as a small businesss owner, and I have several completed business plans, but I'm not financially ready to open a business. My question is, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Also, in your opinion, is anyone ever really financially prepared to take on a business? Should I get a loan and pray a lot? I know that if I don't go ahead with my plans for the business I might regret it, but I am prepared for teaching and it seems more practical. Should I be practical or follow my heart? I know it sounds silly, but I just have a gut feeling that my business would really take off, I just don't know anything about Small Business Loans, or how you pay your bills until the business starts to turn a profit. Sorry this post is so long, I guess I needed to get that off my chest. Thanks
