Mike, go ahead and give it a shot. BUT STAY IN SCHOOL NO MATTER WHAT. I worked all through college and it was the best thing I could have done because now I have 2 degrees from Canisius and a lot more knowledge. but remember you will be working your ass off the first 2 years and not making any money. Right now I work 60-70 hours a week Monday through Saturday and took a 65% paycut to go from manager to co-owner and its going to take a while to get back to/above where I was before I invested my life into this dealership. Also, remember that if the business fails the only person to blame is yourself, you get out what you out in. Not to mention that if you invest alot you also risk losing everything you have.
Good luck, if you ever need advice or help you know where to find me!
