I am so lost and confused I don't know where to go or what to do. I work for my dad he plans to retire in the next 3 years so yes already I am starting to worry.

I know for 100% fact that I do not want to work for anyone else I want to work for my self. I really want to find something that makes decent money and something that I can do from home. I would really perfer to...make a product or items VS offer a service but I am open to either end. I don't have to have to leave my home alot if kind of the point.

Please help me come up with some ideas I don't know what to do and I can't think of anything good to do or to start. I thought about a daycare but I am in an apartment and the boyfriend loves children we want 3 of our own someday but doesn't care for the idea of them in our home as a daycare. I can't say I blame him. I also started a dog treat business but that isnt going to make me a living to get buy on so please help!!! I need ideas and suggestions.

Have you discussed with your Dad what he is going to do with the business?

It seems to me that if someone were to step in and take over for your dad, post-retirement, you might be able to hang in there and continue to do the same job. But perhaps without having the "working for someone else" stygma over your head. Perhaps your Dad can sell you a smaller piece of the company, thereby assuring your longevity?

I really don't know what else to suggest other than to focus on the dog treats and really make it work.

But then, I wouldn't be the first to suggest that.

Good luck with it.

He is trying to sell the business but no one is interested is the last I heard him say. He has brought up giving it to me and my boyfriend. I don't really want it. I have no interest in commerical painting construction and my boyfriend doesn't want to work for my dad which I can't blame him a lot of people agree they wouldn't want to work for there significate other parents. It doesn't help that my dad is different that most people so his sense of humor towards my boyfriend is sometimes offensive or his remarks and comments such ask always asking if he has a job when he had the same job for 3 years, so asking how his new job as a vacume salesman is going...When we told him that he makes great money anywhere between 2,000 & 5,000 a month. So it gets old and irrating we can only imagine what he would say if he worked for my dad. Not a road we are willing to go down.

Yeah I am focusing on the dog treats and its going well. But I guess with everything there is some unstableness.
