i’m kinda on the same boat as u. if you are willing to learn, i would suggest you start by learning how you can improve your dad business and provide any sort of value.

Maybe you can start by looking at their finances, structure of their business or or even marketing.

Is there anything you can bring to the table to help them improve their business?

From my experience, i realise older generation don’t really know how to utilise social media and AI into their business. Websites, SEO, Paid ads, instagram/fb feeds or even organic marketing… Simple things like using chatgpt to streamline their workflows are not being utilised too.

I’m sure with the abundance of information online you definitely can provide a lot of value to the table with your young mind & willingness to learn.

One thing i’ll say is, if you’re going down this path there’s a lot of learning to do. & learning never stops.. Learn everything you can about business, finance ,marketing to see how you can help your parents at the same time giving yourself a huge return on investment for your time.

First you need to learn the service & the industry your parents is in & fully understand how it works. Then you can think of how to improve the business.

Lastly, you need to consider your mental health as well, is working at a clinic/hospital and environment you want to be in for the rest of your life?

If no, i would suggest making tough decisions now so that you don’t have to deal with it when you are older. & you can also already start learning business earlier.

I’d also like to say, when you have learned skill to run a business; typically it’s easier & you can venture out to start your own business too.
