Please advise me..

Am a Lebanese computer science student. I want to start a small business to cover my studies and life expenses but have no idea about business world. I can get about 7000 $ or little more for starting.

What you advise me?

So what can you do ?

Computer repair ? Not sure what type of computer science person you are.

Teach music ( if you have any music talent)

Where do you live, do you know foreign languages, teach them.

Thanks Fr_Chuck,

I have experience in fixing,formatting and dealing with all related stuff to computers

Hardware,software and programming languages(c,c++,html,js,php,vb).

Am from lebanon, and teaching consume a lot of time with no good paying.

I was thinking about selling computers and their accessories may be with a room for

Maintenance but I don't know if its worthy with this amount of budget.

I know in US, many shops, build computer units to order. Now I have no idea of the budget,

But I do know that finding someone, at least where I lived in America, that could or would come to my home to fix my computers was almost impossible to find..

I have nephews in the US who have made money in college fixing computers and phones, or buying them for repair and reselling them. I don't think it was enough to pay for tuition and room and board.
You can't compete with big sellers trying to sell new computers.
I would advertise at school for buying, repair, and tutoring.
Don't spend your 7,000 for some sort of inventory - save it until you know what you are best at, and what sells where you are.

@Fr_Chuck
Its really a great idea to build computer units for ordering.

Here there are a lot of experts in fixing computers, may be I can get a chance to compete if I

Build a reputable computer shop.

@joypulv
That's true, computers and phones maintenance alone won't pay enough here.

I can't compete big sellers but may be I gain well amount of money if well advised and supported.

Sure, its an important point to consider the area around and what I am best at.
