straight out of college doesn't necessarily imply newbie.
We have a rather successful micro-brewery in this town that was
started by a guy when he was still in high school - and not allowed to
drink his own beer.
Our daughter got her first money handling experience when she helped
me out in a (failed) business at age 8, which was enough for her to be
allowed to help with handling money during school lunches in
elementary
school when it was her class' turn to help out, and in the mean time
she
spent one 'season' as the treasurer of her Junior Achievement mini-
company.
She sometimes helps me out in my current business.
She's majoring in English, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any
business experience whatsoever.
You can start a business whenever doing whatever. What comes of it
is a different question. However, I'd consider it wise to not get
yourself
into financial trouble without knowing how to dig yourself back out.
Aloha,
