To make a right career path decision, you should think about your academic interests and passions. Also, choose a major in the field which matches your talents and skills.
What refers to starting a business, you can give it a try, but remember to calculate all the potential risks and make a good plan for each scenario.

Give it a shot! You can start a business for very little these days and what if it goes well? What if I takes off and people respond well to it?
Think about what could go right and invest some time in it. You never know.

Thank you for your question. I am glad to hear that you have some many interest and would like to become entrepreneur.
Below are my suggestions :
1. You may shortlist what is your most favorite business or you have more strength on
2. Do some analyze on the industry, e.g. competition status, entry criteria, investment cost, etc.
3. Attend some courses related to the industry and management course
4. Work in the industry some time first to understand the business model and establish people network
5. Start the business in small scale and online first (if possible)
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

It's commendable that you're aiming to establish a career or generate income in a field you're passionate about. It's equally impressive that you're considering the financial aspects of your venture.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you make the most informed decision:
1. Begin by crafting a business plan. If you're unsure of how to go about this, ChatGPT can provide useful insights and guidance.
2. Next, calculate the necessary expenses to see if you have sufficient funds to kick-start your business.
3. Evaluate your assets, both financial and relational. Can your current resources cover your initial capital? Do you have network connections that could be beneficial in launching your business? It's normal to face uncertainties at this stage, just like any other start-up. The ideal outcome is success, but even if things don't go as planned, you'll gain valuable experience, make new contacts, and learn important lessons. From there, you can revise and improve your strategy.
If, after going through these steps, you feel that the business might not yield a satisfactory return on investment, trust your instincts! You can temporarily shelve the business plan and seek a regular job to build up your funds. You might find a job that offers flexibility, allowing you to continue working on your business, albeit on a smaller scale initially.
I hope these suggestions prove useful. I'll be rooting for you, no matter what path you choose!
