Contact a startup accelerator for help.

All good businessmen consider how feasible an idea is, I've seen stores in malls whose business is to print out a shirt with an image of your dog. Dunno how long they tend to last for in terms of rent/profit but I mean.. >_>

Yes. How successful it will be largely depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice.

I mean, I guess a better question is, should I try, or do something more stable?

- make min wage or throw my hat in the ring trying to find a decent job with just a BA and retail/food experience
- go back to school, but I doubt I could do anything with math, so it would be a professional degree like health admin or public policy (I'd love to go back to school but not for that)

So however good that sounds

With a good business plan and a bit of luck, I'm sure you can do it.

That depends on firstly, what your idea is (get some people with no vested interests in either the business or your feelings, to give you feedback on it), and secondly, how easily you could fall back on your stable ideas if you tried the business and failed.

What sort of business do you want to start? Don't start a restaurant or retail story that only pays minimum wage...

well, it's just an idea and i know it sounds silly but i want a think tank. it's not really a 'good' idea lol. and it's very vague and i would need to do more studying. but the goal is to go into poorer countries that don't have modernized intellectual human capital resources and then provide them with the tools to establish newer, self sufficient organizations. so the goal is not really to have a permanent presence in the country but build a global research network. this is in line with the sustainable development goal 'partnership for the goals'.

Most small businesses fail. Actually do your research before you start putting your hard earned money and time into it.

Unless you have at least $100K, this idea is already dead in the water. Go apply at Target.
