I have an idea of a business is like to create, based on helping aspiring writers to develop, market, and publish their work. I myself want to be a writer. Whenever I was in school, I was thinking if my time could be better spent reading literature or writing.

I studied English for 3.5 years, and business for my last semester. Because I switched majors, I don't have a degree. I don't know when I would be done. I'm not sure if I want to go back. My job would only be a way to live while I write and develop my business. I don't care if I have a degree or not. I just want to write and have my business succeed eventually. I'd be fine working as a salesman or in a trade business.

My family is very upset with me. I'm not sure if going back would be a wise use of time or money. Will I learn something I need? Or should I continue practicing my writing? I don't know yet. I only want to succeed by my own definition, not theirs. They may be confusing their view of success with my own. To them trade school is like a slap in the face. They almost take me not having a degree as an insult. I don't know what is best for me anymore.
