I am still a student majoring in psychology/sociology. But I daydream about opening a business, and I see many businesses open up shop that the owners don't seem to know too much about "Business Administration" or what I think you would acquire by going to business school. But I also don't know how successful/ or depending on every sale to feed their family.

My question is Do you really need a business degree/ or be a business major to open up a retail shop? Or could experience from working your way up the ladder do the job? (I hope I dont offend any Business major/ or degree holders).
