Should a college wantrepreneur focus on studying till graduation or start something crazy with their free time?

[Nevah Lucky]

Hey all,
After reading MJs book and discovering this forum along with other things, I reached a high on my entrepreneurial motivation but what you might already know is that doesn't last very long. What I do have now is a hunger though. I've been keeping my nose to the ground smelling opportunities left and right but one of the most frustrating feelings is that I don't feel like I have the access to tackle these problems yet. As I'm headed off to college though, I'm wondering if those here would recommend focusing on studying through school to learn as much as possible or doing school like a job while starting a business. I know that if I start one in college I may not always be able to give it my full attention and I'm worried that even though I might give birth to a golden goose, it might malnourish under my care and die while I'm away only coming back to salvage what's left. What are your thoughts?

Are you in America where college costs you an arm and a leg?

Or is it free, elsewhere?

Why does it always have to be one OR the other?

You have 168 hours in a week. Once your grades / education (aka your JOB) are covered, use focused time to start your business. Do both. Fail while you don't need the income / result.
