A snow removal business in the winter and I also own a company that sells shading products

If I could go back and do it over again Id try to get an internship with a marketing firm, PR firm, or get my realtors license. While at the same time taking some courses in accounting and courses in programs like Excel and Quickbooks. College is just too much theory, and 90% of my professors had never run a business in their lives yet they were trying to teach me how to run one. Just didnt seem right to me.
