Say, if I wanted to own my own trading card game shop, what courses should I take? Management or something else?

About Me
I’ve been in the antiques and collectibles business for more than 25 years.
I own an auction co. and have had 2 retail stores in the past.
If I’d have had the internet when I started out, I’d have never gotten a brick and mortar store.
If I were you, I’d consider learning the ins and outs of eBay, open up a store there. I’ve been on eBay for 10 years and I can assure you that there’s nothing like it for getting a good retail education.
From there you’ll learn much of what you need to know to run a store, but be warned, if your successful on eBay, you probably won’t need to open a physical store.
Another thing you can try is to get a job at a store similar to the one you want to open. There is no education like hands on education. Why pay good money for something you can get paid to learn?
And you’ll learn things there that you can’t learn in a course.
Good luck!
