It is better to work for a business owned by someone else than to work for the business of one’s own family.
Students nowadays have divided ideas when selecting between family business or others’ business for work. Underlying reasons may be sophisticated, as those subject to conformity simply follow people around to work for others. Another proportion of students, however, are predetermined to inherit family business at a very young age. In my opinion, working for someone else’s business definitely outweighs the other choice.
To begin with, working for others implies far more possibility of development for employees. Nowadays, thanks to the burst of economy, students are blessed with a cascade of job offers upon graduation. Such a job market is so vigorous that the freshmen are offered almost all kinds of jobs they can dream of to pursue their interest and unfold their self-worth. Given this, why not select a job that truly meets your demand and exploit your potential to the fullest? After all, it is one’s passion and interest that determines how far one can go in his/her career eventually.
True, some may argue that family business does have merits. Typically, communicating with colleagues is much easier since people around seem more familiar. Besides, getting promoted tends to be unchallenging. However, the fact is, the commonly assumed “advantages” are exactly the disadvantages if viewed from another angle. Under the circumstance of someone else’s business, one has no choice but to struggle to improve oneself in various ways, such as cultivating communication skills, learning to alleviate conflicts in routine work, etc. To acquire these qualities is just a process of leaving the comfort zone, painful yet rewarding. As the outstanding entrepreneur Zuckerburg puts it, one can hardly succeed unless stepping out of his or her comfort zone.
What’s more, family business, if badly regulated, has interior weaknesses in the operation of the company. Chances are that a large amount of regular work ends up prone to complex emotional consideration. For example, an overwhelming decision of the company may be unfavorably affected just because the decision-maker is unwilling to hurt family member’s feelings. Hence the administrative efficiency remains low, posing a threat to both the company and employees.
