tleser,
Before you jump into your own business with both feet, I suggest you actually work in the field for a while. It would be very hard to even begin to estimate jobs without hands on experience. I'm not trying to dissuade you from persuing your dream, but you might want to try it first.
I also started my own business straight out of college. I had about 5 years experience in the electrical field, but decided I wanted to go into remodeling with some electrical service. I struggled for 5 years as I learned and worked at the same time. After 5 years of just getting by I decided to get my electricians license and concentrate my efforts on electrical service and subcontracting. Since then things have been much better having gone back to my roots and building on my experience. I wished I had spent those first 5 years working for another contractor learning the management side of the business that I learned the hard way. My business degree helped, but real life is much diferent.
Good Luck.
