Poor man\'s buisiness education
So, Im 23, know way too much about computers (BS information security systems), and while I do like the field, after getting into the business of tech sales/installations/maintenance, and even some restaurant bookkeeping. Ive decided I may want to steer away from the purely "tech stuff", and deal more in sales/finances, you know the whole "business world" deal. Can someone give me a reccomendation for some books dealing with sales, finance, the business world etc, so I can give myself a crash course in the next few months?

Re: Poor man\'s buisiness education
Aye, Im a little to old to start school over, but who knows...I really want to open my own business selling computers/highend security or possibly a bar/restaurant, ie I do not want to work for someone, and need a starting place.

A lot of state universities and community colleges offer night classes on things like this. Some are only a few weeks long just to get your feet wet.

I'd highly recommend www.entrepreneur.com. They have a very good archive from their monthly magazine.

I have a lot of money saved up (enough to pay for my education when Im done, in cash), but I dont know where to begin with estimating how much I would need to start a particular business up, so I really only have about a year to figure out whether to pay off my loans in full and be debt free, or use that liquid to put into a business, or a little of each etc.
