Hey guys, I have been offered an opportunity I'm not too sure about yet.
I teach Tae Kwon Do as a hobby of mine, turns out it brings in a little over half of my income in only an eighth of the time of my part time job as a radio station productionist. Being a productionist is a dead end job, meaning I will most likely never move up in the ladder of success because there is only me, the sales manager, and the owner.
Making about 22k per year at the age of 18, living with my parents, and taking college courses on the side... I'm a pretty busy guy.
I turn around and see my dad, he owns a computer repair and retail store which he also manages along with my mom who does the bookwork. They have a few employees, one in which is leaving in about a month and a half, and she is the one who does their websites.
So my dad offered me her job, making just a little more than my radio job, but it's more hours too. And it's more work. Sounds like an easy turn for keeping the old job, right?
Wrong, you see he said I would start managing in 2 years. My income goes way up. My hours shortening just a bit, but the responsibilities are higher.
So what do you guys think I should do?
Option A. Keep the dead-end radio job with hardly any real worries, but no ladder to climb.
Option B. Take the website desgin job and be able to work my way up to manager within 2 years and possibly even end up owning it eventually.
Your input is appreciated.
