I've been in college for seven years and I will be graduating in a month with an associates degree in general business. I'm burnt out, I don't want to go back to school for anything else. But everyone I've met with a degree in general business is holding minimum wage jobs - delivering newspapers and flipping burgers. What can I do exactly with this degree. I want to have my own business in something some day, but I don't have a clue what.

Usually people get burned out with school if they're not interested in their area of study. When you figure out what you want to do then it will be worth going back to school. As far as an AA in general business.
You might be able to move up the ladder, if you take a retail job (where turn over is high), work hard, communicate well and do your best.

you can get a clerical job or possibly an assistant managers job in retail or possibly a job selling cars. None of these is high paying. Whatever you learned will be of value to you if someday you do open your own business. If you really want to get a high paying responsible corporate job or an upper management position, you will need an MBA. Jobs that pay well in an office setting often require higher education. If you want a high paying job without going to college, I would suggest a union trade.
