    Looks like I'll be graduating with a Business degree this summer (fingers crossed).

    I'm honestly not sure how.

    Problem is I really don't know what I want to do after college.

    Eventually I'd like to start my own business, that's always been a goal of mine.
    I just don't know how to get there.

    I mean my options are endless..

    I'm considering doing a Digital Marketing masters, they're inexpensive here in Ireland, I'd commute from my parents house and half the course work is industry placement - putting your skills to work.

    I've always chosen the Marketing electives, just because they've been easy for me - I'm not really one for Finance or Economics.

    I've considered doing a conversion course/add on in Software Development, ticks all the boxes but I just don't know if I've actually got the head for programming..

    I've also just considered going the blue collar route, going back learning a trade or just working with my hands with an aim of one day working for myself..

    I really don't know what to do, or where to go from here..
    I'm trying to focus on exams at the moment but I can't leave this to one side.

    What kind of business you wanna start?

    What kind of business you wanna start?

    Honestly no idea.

    I've just always been fascinated with how businesses run and operate.
    How McDonalds is more so a Real Estate company, the genius of the Starbucks App.

    Why Dell was so successful.
    I'm just interested in intelligent business models.

    Rather than learn about them and writing 101 theories, I want to get involved and start my own.
    I want to run and grow my own business.
    I'd be okay running a one man shop but the ambition doesn't stop there.

    Could be anything.

    Part of me is thinking construction.
    Get into an area/trade where there's a load of older retiring guys, learn what I can, go out on my own.

    I mean it could be plumbing, starting a plumbing company, adding another van, property development, onwards and upwards.

    I could go into something completely different - I just want to work for myself and grow a business.
