Should I start a computer business? I am starting a repair business now until I get my bachelors?

I am starting a repair business now until I get my bachelors in computer science (2 years). After that should I add web design and software design to my business or join a company. I have authority issues btw.

Update:

I thought about it and I wasn't sure if I like the category it was in thanks for the answers :)

    It's great to start a business but it never hurts to see how a successful business is run. It's easy as an employee to see the flaws and how you might do it differently. Without seeing it and doing it you might be your own worste enemy. Steve jobs had that too but it wasn't because he wanted to hacky sac until noon every day. You may be qualified to fix computers but you don't know much about a store lease and liability when a customer sues you - even if your right. I'm just saying you need to wear a bunch of hats on day 1 of your new venture. Set aside an hour a day to prepare for a new business. Take it slow, read, listen, meet and see if it's for you. Even if it's not for today it can be in the future.

    You could always try it for the next two years while you finish college. If you seem to be making a good amount of money and are enjoying the work, I'd say, go ahead and start your own company. My biggest piece of advice is to be sure to finish college and get your degree first!
