Been offered a pretty good job up in the stock market but it will be working with / taking over my dads role.

Not sure it's a good or bad idea ?

Once im in control and he has gone ill be laughing but its getting through that barrier, learning, travelling into London with him everyday etc

They are long days but if I work hard the money can be exceptional (earn what you deal basically no annual fee)

Opinions ?

unless you have any thing at heart you want to do i think its a good idea, im young and not entirely experienced..... but i have an opinion

, my mate doesnt no whether he wants to work with his dad, because he doesnt like his dad so there are a few pros and cons you could look over.

Depends if you are any good, does it interest you etc.

traveling to london isnt too bad, but can get to you.

I would disregard the fact your father works at the same place...if the jobs a good job then you would be crazy to turn it down...

The fact your father works there will probably work in your favour anyway as you will probably receive preferential treatment with promotions etc...

Thats exactly what i'm doing. All the little bonuses of my job are brilliant and I really enjoy what I do.

I get all my fuel paid for, little bonuses here and there, a pension etc I could go on.

If you think you will enjoy that line of work, go for it Greg.

Yea, but I would need to spend about 7 years at uni and then get a load more qualifications. Then get about 20-30 years experience. Er... I don't think it's going to happen

I used to work with mine, major downside is it's almost impossible to pull a sicky or bunk off if needs be.
