Margaret,
The question you need to ask yourself is why you want to do a degree, when you want to start your own business. You have an idea for a business then do it now, research and gain information and experience as you go. Can almost guarentee that IF you do your degree by the time you get around to starting your own business it'll be too late and your idea will have been thought of and actioned. There are so many sites now that give a wealth of information on this.
If your so intent on a degree, then do it alongside opening your business. that way you'll be earning (hopefully) and learning. But to be brutally honest with you, I don't see the point in a business degree if your going to be starting your own business, for me its a waste of money. Hit the sites buy a few book and self learn.
Of course there will be people that disagree with me on the degree being pointless but thats my opinion. you certainly dont have to have a degree to start a business!!!
Through Experience you gain Knowledge - Through Knowledge you do not gain experience!!!!
