My dad was a millionaire at 26 from landscaping, believe it or not. He could have kept himself wealthy if he didn't get on drugs, but that's not the point. I just wanted to clarify this before people said I was gonna be a wageslave. The way my dad kept his business running was by being a hard-working perfectionist who wasn't happy with anything but the best. If dad saw something as small as a sprinkler being in the unpreferred place, he would waste his time taking it out himself. It was his way or the highway. The only issue is I don't have the same passion for landscaping that he does. Personally, I enjoy web dev, history, and mathematics if I am going to pick subjects to work in. However, I feel like I would be stupid to reject a business being handed down to me.
Here's how the topic even came up. My dad was working on a job and he made 30k in 9 days. Me and him were talking because one of our best workers was leaving us due to his girlfriend making him leave. We had put years into this worker and he was leaving, it had my dad tore up. The worker in particular was making about 60k a year from landscaping, and he has no other job options since he is in CS and he has a year left before he graduates from his small university. My dad also has used LOTS of illegal Mexicans in the past because of their effective labor, he doesn't even lowball their pay. The issue is we can't get anymore Mexicans to come work for us because they're all getting deported. In wake of this, my dad wants me to come along and run the business from the side, managing his crews and expanding it. He knows that I don't want to be out on the jobsite working with my hands, and he's okay with that. I just don't know if I can keep the business running the same way he did, I lack that passion.
tl;dr Dad offered me his business, I don't know how I am going to run it if I do take it, but I feel like it would be dumb to reject his offer. What should I do?
