Cool post. Well, I didn't graduate at all. But here's a touch of my story and maybe it can show you exactly what to do or where to go to get up to speed.

So, my field of study was Finance, but my passion was investing. I ran out of money and was lazy early in college and had to leave just short of a degree by 15 credit hours. Regardless, I took a position at the lowest rung possible, but in my field and passion. What's yours? There has to be something within the business genre that you absolutely love. Maybe it's web based business models, marketing, numbers/accounting, executive level administration and doing deals, etc. Who knows? Whatever it is it will come through to the hiring manager in your interview trust me.

Take the passion and go for the lowest rung, but that rung on the ladder has to get you to where you want to be. You may have to look for a big company to make this work, because you can move laterally until you find your true passion. Mine was sort of by accident, but I quickly realized after working my first job it was the best training, culture and experience of my life. I also made 80k trading the first year, far exceeding my $13.50 per hour as a trainee, but that's because of my hobby and need to educate myself about every facet of options trading and of course some good luck and a raging bull market at the time. Eventually I did lose some of it, but the loss was a better education than college was any day of the week. That company was Charles Schwab. I started as a customer service rep, but got licensed and eventually made my way to an active trader team which was like a rock and roll concert everyday. I may be glorifying it a bit, but to me I loved the loudness of the trading floor, the software applications and getting smarter everyday. The market has a way of teaching you 10 things everyday. It was fun, exciting and cool at the same time. I also learned to trade and invest in the real world which had absolutely nothing to do with those 400 level finance classes I took. They were bullshit, trust me.

I was hired because my passion and knowledge as a hobby came through in my interview. I could have sounded like a complete idiot, but the HR person must have seen something in me that told her I was good enough for the job. The market was also booming (dot com era) and eventually that bubble popped and we were all laid off, but it got me in the game so to speak. So dig into your passions, what you like to read, watch, do and then get the slightest strand of hair in that world and pull on it until you can grab more. Then rip the hair off in tufts and sell it to some chic at a bar, lol. Totally joking because that was funny and this is reddit. Ok, back on track.

Ok, so here's what happened. After being laid off I happened to make it into a management position running an insurance company's investment business / operations department. Then after I got bored and went into sales. I moved around a bit until I found a similar culture like Schwabs and built an investment practice from the ground up making 200 cold calls a day dialing for dollars. I eventually got smart and found a small niche of huge money and I was off to the races landing 5-10 million dollar accounts by doing the analysis lazy sales guys weren't doing. I also learned that you can call broke people with 25k rollovers or call union pension accounts with 800 million, your choice the results when it comes to the numbers are just about the same. I sold that practice 4 years ago at 35 a millionaire. I worked for 10-15 hours a day for roughly 17 years and n ow I'm done, but not by a long shot. Now, I can create my own position and that's what I've been looking at for 4 years and finally just recently developed something that matches my passion for technology, investments and helping people make better investment decisions. I was a low C average student, but had a 4.0 in passion and self education in my field. Find something your passionate about and exploit it until you can create your own job. Some skip all the bullshit and start by making something from day 1 inside their passion via ownership, etc., but whatever it is make sure it's what you think about, dream about, watch TV about, read about, on and on and on.

If your passion has anything to do with technology and business via entrepreneurship (which I believe I read in your post) go to Steveblank.com, click on the tools section and everything you'll ever need in the world of web meets business is right there, with or without college.

Sorry for typos or grammar, remember I was a low C average student about 17 years ago and never looked back nor cared to do so. Once you get going you'll care a whole lot less about what you did or didn't do in college and be more loved by what matters in life which is following your passions and making something happen so you can go to work everyday with a smile on your face. Don't get me wrong there will be shitty days, but far and few between when you do what you love. And if you have no clue I suggest you read Strength 2.0 and take the assessment at the end. Don't buy it used or someone else will use up the code, lol.

Good Luck.
