You can be self employed no matter what. But the more education you have, the better you will run your business for the most part.

Why do you think having a BA inhibits one from having a business of their own? Who do you think run most of the businesses, people with B.Adm, B. BusCom, M.Adm?
One doesn't HAVE to have a bachelors or any kind of a degree to run a business, what you have to have is a product worth selling and a passion to sell it and venture capitalists with deep pockets to fund it.
Most self -employed businesses fail because of lack of cash flow or are underfunded by the people who start them. You have 2-5 years to make a business successful.

Why not? It takes more than a college education however. It depends on the business, the plan, the finances you have to start and the amount you have saved to support yourself while you give it a go.
Yes, and just how really very hard are you prepared to work. Can you for the most part handle 16 hours a day, seven days a week and a large dose of determination and a larger dose of HUMILITY if it fails.

Anyone with enough start-up money or sponsor can start up a business. But going to college and taking a business course can only help.
Sounds like if you have enough passion to start a business going to college should be a snap for you and a fun part of your life.

Most definitely. Who do you think runs major companies---degreed people. Who do you think owns them----more times than none people with little or no advanced education. I say go for it, but definitely do you research.

As long as people pay you to do whatever it is you do, you can be self employed. Just make sure you pay your taxes.
