To start this off, I have feelings. I live in Alabama.
To start my working career I worked at a tire and auto store, got fired for looking young and people not wanting me to work on their vehicles. So I went and worked with my dad for 3 years. He showed me better ethic than anyone else’s work I have seen yet. ($700 a week cash) I stopped working with him because in the wintertime there would be two months of no work and two months of no work is tough.. so I started working at a corporate auto body collision center for another 3 years in the office as a parts manager ($500 a week + bonuses). I didn’t enjoy the stress so I quit. Two weeks later I’m back at another collision center from word of mouth... a family owned shop which is a heavy hitter in my area. Getting paid the same but no bonuses + health insurance the owner wants to get out of the work and put his son in charge and me to do what his son is doing.
Okay now the real situation going on here.. my dad is in really bad shape mentally and is getting bombarded by just bad shit that’s influencing his weak minded self & it’s bringing us down. I talked to him about his work he said he was really hurried I asked why hurried, he said bc it was only him and this 60 year old out there the 60 y/o son in law started working w my dad whenever I left. This said son in law is sorry and misses work every opportunity he can and it’s bringing my dad down.... so here I am. Should I quit my cozy gravy job to go help w my dads peace of mind? Current job 35k a year + health insurance and room to take the sons spot and get paid more of course. Or go work w my dad and get paid cash no taxes and have to pay at the end of the year + find insurance— really what I need is something I could do in the wintertime if I was to work with my dad. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you all
Also I am M24y/o
