Christian (Caller)

relating to working in a family business.

I'm graduating college in December and I feel a lot of pressure from my family to stay in the family business, but I'm not sure that that's the best path for me, especially since I have like big goals of starting a family next year or getting married more specifically and moving out.

I just don't think that it would be the right move.

And so I was wondering if you had any advice on navigating that conversation.

No, there's definitely been some things said, like...

I've had conversations with my dad about what I want to do, and he seems to have an understanding of it.

But my grandmother has said things as far as, like, we're going to buy you out, and, like, we're going to make you stay.

Like, you're not going to be able to refuse it.

And so it's kind of like that kind of pressure that kind of worries me of what it will look like.

Right.

And I think it has something to do with I am graduating college debt free from a Christian university, which is pretty unheard of, rare.

But they paid for about a third to a half of my education.

I paid for the other half.

And so maybe it has something to do with that, but I'm not sure.

Um, yeah, I, I really love doing sales and I've been able to do some sales inside of the company.

Um, and I would love to do that longterm, but I would not be able to have a, or afford the life that I want to have by staying with the company.

Yeah, I am too.

I know what they would be, or I guess I'm just assuming that I would know what they would be offering me, and we would have that conversation once I get closer to graduating.

I graduate in December.

Starting off, I think their salary would be competitive with what I could make around like $70.
