An entrepreneur or focus on a boring career?

If you're going to make a thread like this, at least go in to more detail.

What kind of business do you wish to open?
What is your educational background?
How old are you?
What career would you go in to if you weren't opening your own business?
Etc

im unsure whether I should focus on opening my business which will be hard and risky or focus on getting a career and being average.

Instead of boring I think a better way of saying this would be a risky career vs a set career (that's the best way I can think of describing it)

Of course it depends on your interests, but I don't see how you could be so drawn to being an entrepreneur yet nothing else - remember all the paperwork and finances you'd have to deal with.

Alternatively depending on your degree you could try and get into management of a larger firm and work your way up. This would be a more stable career in my opinion and I'm not sure if it's just where I live but many of the smaller non franchised shops in my area are rapidly failing due to the likes of Tesco making it a very risky business to go into if you do decide to be an entrepreneur.

TL;DR consider working your way up of a larger firm perhaps?

My degree isn't worth the paper its written on. I want a fun career where I can be self employed no boss telling me what to do. I might just have to get into IT support which is abit boring also tbh.. I wish I could get into programing but I can't get funding for uni as I've used it up otherwise I'd do computer science.

I just don't know whether to invest my money in education or a business.

Education? Did you not just do a degree? or you want to do CompSci?

I would go the educational route first. Make sure you don't do something which is dead-end in terms of career prospects. From my experience (friends who have done business), its a waste of time. My granddad opened his own business up around 30 years ago, my dad has been running it the past 10-15. TRUST ME, it's VERY tough and constantly on your mind. Especially at the beginning. If you open up a business, I recommend you do it once you get more life experience/knowledge.

Find a field which you can see yourself working in, surely something may catch your eye. If you like Web Development (after researching it), then get a degree in that, work for someone initially in that field and then become sort of a consultant or a freelance coder etc.

Main thing is understanding how much money is going to go in to that business initially, knowing what you're getting yourself in to. I would NEVER open up a business now unless I knew 100% it was going to be successful. It's way too risky, especially now.

I cant afford £27000 to do another degree

Have you any experience in the industry you are hoping to run a business in? Just because you can cook at home doesn't mean you can cook at a restaurant or commercially for that matter.

I recently stopped working to concentrate on expanding my own businesses.
