Hello everyone!

I just joined the forum today. I am pondering the idea of going to college or vocational school to gain skills that will transfer to an entrepreneurial venture. I was in the army as a signal operator and have unused education benefits I can use. At the moment I don't feel like I have enough capital or marketable skills to start a business. Is it worth it to go to college? What career or skills would be the most valuable to pursue? A couple of paths I was considering were HVAC tech, personal trainer, or organic farmer, and eventually going into business for myself. I haven't been the biggest fan of computers but am open to learning more skills that apply to this field. I greatly appreciate any feedback, thanks!
