A buddy of Mine graduated college and is having trouble finding a good job. He's on the verge of moving about 1000 miles away and starting his own business. The guy is sort of quick to act on things and doesn't really know what type of business he wants to run. He's moving to Florida. These are some things he was considering but has basically under $5K in capital to work with:

Ice cream truck owner
Landscaper
Wave runner rental business (too much capital costs)
any other ides for him?

Any thoughts?
I personally told him that he needs to sit back and plan for such a major decision, and probably would be smart for atleast trying to get a business loan.

if he is planing to do anything that is profitable he needs a loan, and banks always give good loans to college graduates.(if he has good credit)

You also have to be willing to work hard to make your business successful.
