Good job mate,

Well let me share my small biz experiences;

1. Car rental
Capital : 7k
a. Car itself = 6k
b. Repairing and stuff = 1k
Services: Very subjective, mine has taken up 3k for 3 years.
Location : Inside university
Monthly/Yearly Income : Average 500/month, 5k/year
Duration : Manage it for 3 years and plan to sell it off soon (I've just graduated rclxms.gif )
Opinion : Extra pocket money and after all provide me a free transportation smile.gif

2. Food Trader
Capital : Own transportation needed
a. Collect order and buy from the restaurant and sell to student
Location : Inside university
Monthly/Yearly Income : Earn some profit margin each pack, earn up to 500/month, 5k/year
Duration : 1 year
Opinion : Very time consuming and decided to stop after doing car rental service smile.gif

3. Book Trader
Capital : 0
a. Buy from senior and sell to junior
Location : Inside university
Monthly/Yearly Income : Earn some profit margin each book, earn up to 1k/year
Duration : 1 year
Opinion : Very time consuming and decided to stop after 1 year of doing it smile.gif

4. Phone Accessories Trader (Failure)
Capital : 0 (My parents own the shop)
a. Collect order and buy from parent and sell in uni.
Location : Inside university
Monthly/Yearly Income : Earn some profit margin
Duration : half year
Opinion : Very less customer sad.gif (lack of advertisement and quite busy in uni too)

And now I graduated as an engineer in first class honours and decided to join big companies if they want me.. Many have rejected me mad.gif

As for now I have some capital burst up from the previous biz and education loan tongue.gif and is planning to open some other biz or I would just wait to work as an engineer profession to burst up more of my capital hmm.gif

Being an engineer is a good profession. Sometimes being a professional is better than being a business man. I've several engineer friends who gets wealthy. I've no profession in hand, if I have, I would like to become an architect.

Yeap totally agreed.
Having a profession is better than working in small business, unless when we have a bigger capital to run a big business then it would better than working for others.

I was planning to invest in property for renting maybe while working as an engineer.
And am wondering how to get bank loan approval for no pay slip blink.gif

Work for 3 months and get your payslip. What's the rush. Your starting salary should have 2.5k-3k. More than enough to invest in a low/medium cost property.

That's true, well besides housing property, I still need to buy a used car (current car breaking down soon) worth 60k. And if i were planning to put a large down payment, there goes my capital sad.gif Am planning to take 5 years loan and after that I should be able to invest in housing property, I am not sure if this is this the proper way blink.gif
