>I'm literally saying I want to do this to pay off my school loans
I have huge respect for anyone who starts a business to pay off school loans. As a practical matter, I'm not sure this is the way to go. People that need synthetic DNA made for them typically don't have the resources to test it themselves, so you would have to do QA before shipping product. More to the point, you would have to convince customers you could do QA properly and were reliable. Your end product is someone else's starting component for a more complex process, and if it's contaminated with incomplete strands (for example), your customers will waste time and resources and won't be happy.
As synthetic DNA isn't that expensive to buy from well established labs, I'm not sure that type of home business would be able to compete effectively in the current marketplace. As a consumer of such things, I'd probably go with a better known supplier that came with recommendations from my colleagues rather than save a little money dealing with a home lab. I don't mean to discourage you, so please just consider this a bit of marketing information from your target group.
However, if you're doing this for the spirit of invention and don't need to generate an income form it right away, I wish you the best of luck.
