What would be the best course of action (finding a job or continuing current business) for a college student that is about to graduate in 6 months (Associates degree in Business Management) but want to find a job in the current field now?

I think you need to start applying and if your time and resources allow it, try to complete your bachelor's. It is important to get as much experience as possible to secure a job later!

Do you have any internships? I always recommend that students get a couple of those under their belt before applying to jobs. It makes your resume look better and you'll get an idea of what you like.

What are you interested in? Business management has lots of potential and can be used in almost any industry.

Running an entire business seems like something that would be too demanding and would require your attention almost 24/7 on top of finishing your studies. Finding an internship would be more beneficial for you so you at least have something to add to your resume for when you finally start applying for a job.

It really depends on where your prioritt lies at the moment. But it might be best for you to take it one step at a time. I suggest you find a job first and then use your knowledge and experience to improve your current business. You might get overwhelmed if you choose to do both since you're technically a student still. Remember, you can't serve two masters at the same time, well not now but once you get the hang of everything. You can still decide after 6 months.

Specialist,marketing, project manager possibly any industry

I think you need to focus first on your degree. You are about to graduate and if you can't afford any delays, then you should focus on your studies first. But you can start applying even before graduation.
