Is it dumb for me to do a startup right now?

[acardoso]

Background: I'm currently in dental school and have been working really hard to get high grades. There is a good opportunity to open a storefront business locally to help me pay for tuition, and I would scale back my schoolwork to maintain average grades so that I could have time to open a store. I would be seeking out about $170K for funding.

After school is done, I will have an outrageous $600K of student loans. Though I am confident that this would succeed, there's always a chance it may not. My question is, in the event that it fails, would that severely affect my plans to receive bank funds to open my practice under a business after I graduate? If it does, would this not be an extremely risky move? TIA
