Keep in mind, most businesses don't turn profits for some time. Generally the only exception are service businesses, not product based ones. In either case, you need upfront money to purchase equipment, supplies etc. Unless you have someone willing to back you, don't expect significant borrowing capabilities upon graduation.
What you may need to do is go with the body shop work, but be an employee initially - you won't have the profits when things are good, but you also won't have the debt load when it is bad.

Assuming Cynthetiq is saying, heterosexual man, that might mean a club focusing on gentlemen of other tastes could be the right choice. Now I am not suggesting a flaming pink neon sign out front (sorry for the stereotype), but the correct marketing can do wonders towards bringing in the clientele.
