In your opinion, what college degree do you believe will help me fulfill my goal of owning a business? And if worse comes to worse, and my goal of owning a business fails then what college degree will help me find an employer so I can still survive.


I am looking at business degrees right now, but I am not sure if it’s truly worth to get a business degree but rather a nursing degree so I can get a job. And then try to do my business on the side, but still the nursing degree will be worthless if my business becomes a success while the skills of a business degree will help me, probably.


My business plan is around the idea of night clubs/bars currently. Maybe I should get a degree in that field?


Also, a big reason why I want a college degree is just to say I have one, and to be okay-financially. It's not really something I see as necessary, but I might as well do it for my self-dignity as in getting a job.


I am probably going to go to a community college than transfer, while doing a part-time job during those years.
