So I’ve come across an opportunity to work with my Dad at his welding firm. Well, not his, but the one he currently manages. I’m normally opposed to nepotism as it gives a job candidate a false sense of qualification. I won’t go as far as to say this is a different situation. However, the exchange appears to be mutually beneficial. More obvious is how this will grant me reprieve from my current joblessness. On the other hand though, the company is in need of a young salesperson who can take the reins and hopefully find new ways to acquire business through government contract. Which, sounds actually very exciting. Learning to acquire business in this manner will provide various tools to help me possibly land a bigger role in some few years time.

The biggest drawbacks are how i must stay here in the area even longer than desired while taking a job doing something i may really not like or do well in. Thats the beauty of it though, sometimes we must wait longer or take the unmarked road to get ahead.
