Yeah I'd have to advise against a gun shop unless you open a killer range too...but even then it's a headache. Everything's a headache really. My father in law is opening up a small ice cream shop in downtown kennesaw. Had the structure not been previously used for food service he would have been charged $5k a head to get his water turned on. Tell me again how we are supporting new business?

I have friends with business management degrees, mba, accounting, finance, etc. and many of them are asking the same question. My answer would be do what it was you wanted to do that required you to get that particular degree in the first place. If you got that degree thinking it would be broad enough that people would bombard you with job offers on the ODT or Facebook, well then you're an idiot and no one wants to hire an idiot. Except maybe the federal government.

This administration has done more to hinder small business than any other in the at least the last 3 generations.
