Yes, the courses you speak of will help you to become a Business Analyst.

A BA can be on the client side or the IT side. If on the client side, they are interfacing with work group domains that process the work and review what they need. They generate requirements and then work with the IT side to update or generate processes and applications to fullfil the business needs.

If you're a BA on the IT side of the house, then you're taking all the requirements and developing processes and application solutions. Your job is to work with the client to generate a business solutions document (there are many names for it) and get signoff. Then, you need to make sure that solution becomes reality by working with systems analysts, programmers, and testers. You're generally responsible for the delivery of the solution. Although, if the solution revolves around process changes with other work group domains, you normally work with a PM (Project Manager). Never the less, you have end to end responsibilities for the IT delivery to insure the client gets what they need (and paying for).

With the offshoring of work to cheap labor, to remain associated with software development, the BA role is a good profession.

Your reasoning is fairly weak. Ngozi explained it well and I think a lot of people understand, because I sure did.

What you need to come to terms with is that your views hold extremely little significance here.

You have just proven my point.Two sentences to show that you have nothing more useful to say and I suppose this discussion ended when I said BYE Earlier.Wishing you Goodluck and hope you somehow get out of your IGNORANCE,DENIAL,ARROGANCE,AND SELF HATE.I STAND BY MY OPINION,NIGERIAN GOVT.OUGHT TO DO MORE!!! IF THAT ANNOYS YOU WELL GET OVER IT AND STOP PRETENDING THAT THEY ARE DOING ENOUGH.I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU FIND A LIBRARY AND EDUCATE YOURSELF A LITTLE MORE.SINCE BUYING BOOKS MAYBE EXPENSIVE.

Sorry Mrs Ngozi, you’re well educated, but Nigeria is a s***hole. The corruption is deeper than a black hole. Maybe, just maybe, if Nigeria started with something as little as (um… i don’t know) STABLE ELECTRICITY???

I don’t know how a nation is meant to develop, let alone tackle corruption if the electricity is constantly being switched off on random daily basis. Start with a stable power supply and then i’ll take you seriously.

You need to keep accurate records when running a business. This will be your best defense if you ever get audited.

For IRS purposes, you need to make a profit every 3 out of 5 years to have the IRS prove that you are not running a business. Otherwise, it is up to you to prove that you are running a business and not doing a hobby. You can prove that you are running a business by keeping your business accounts and personal accounts separate.

You can write off any legitimate business expense including dinners with clients, car expenses, equipment, etc.

Having a separate checking account and credit card is a good idea. However, it isn't necessary. You can comingle your business and personal expenses using your personal accounts. But, if you do this, then it will be harder for you to prove that you are running a business.

For your revenues, you don't need a corporate account to make you deposits. You just need to make the deposits in your separate account that you use for business.

You can read Publication 334 for more information.

The requirements vary according to your state. Call the business license office for your county and just ask them if you need a business license to operate an internet store. I live in Georgia, and in my county, you do.

How about a book store, if you are looking retail?

I cant say if it would work in your town, you need to do marketing research to see what would succeed in your town.
Also in business .. Location, Location, Location is VERY important to success .. not only do you need the right business, you need the right location ..

Passion, YES .. you do have to work long hours but passion because you believe in what you are doing.
I work from home and have the utmost compassion and belief for what I do, I believe that is what brings me success ..

If you don't like books, don't like to read .. then a book store probably wont make sense. Did deep .. Only you know what you really want to do.

GL!
