Running a small business during University (1 Viewer)

[Ceskar]

I am currently studying for the HSC and will begin to start university next year.
My friends and I have decided, since we're still young to save up for a small
Photography business while studying at University. Some of us hope to be
medical students and realise that we will have 30-36+ hours a week of studying
but are determined to find time to pursue this dream.

We hope to start a Photography business (or a business in any other category,
ideas welcomed). This includes wedding and part photography and 'special
occassion' photography in general. We will work intense for the first 6+ months
in order to save up enough capital to start. We realise that equipment will be
expensive, including printing and framing costs (if necessary) but we are
dedicated to making this happen.

I was wondering if there was anyone else who has thought of this idea, to start
a business while still studying in university. We will be in uni for about 5-6+ years
and hope to make the best of our youth. After uni we will separate to our
designated paths and probably will see each other less often.

I have posted to here about your suggestions, to hear whether this is realistic
or not and whether it is worth pursuing. By the end of the several months of
intense work, we will take 20+% of our earnings and invest it into this idea
but if it will not work, we will drop it. Either way there is no loss whatsoever.

Thank you in advance for your ideas, suggestions, advice and time.

Firstly you should learn what word wrap is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_wrap

Secondly, It's going to be quite risky (and a challenge) - a medical degree + a fulltime job (you are going to be doing massive amounts of work and study). However i do know of people who have successfully started their own buisness in uni (and its still going strong). You just have to be REALLY comitted.

Might be easier if u studied commerce or something more related if u have a general interest in business. Otherwise, id prob just concentrate on the med. Once u get qualified, the money will soon make up for it!
