Ok, so here is my situation. I am a young man with little formal education, although in the real world I seem to be more intelligent then my coworkers and friends. I got myself into a job most people would kill for. I am a chemical operator at a fortune 500 company. I just hate the job, my coworkers are Debbie downers. I also have a few years salary saved up. The problem is my dad got me the job, he is an old fashion slowlaner. I respect his work ethic just not his business mindset. When I was little I asked him about business he said "business is all about who can screw the other person harder" lol. So what should I do? I feel like anything I do would be better then this. I almost want to quit my job and move away so it forces myself to sink or swim because right now working a 3rd shift factory job is doing very little to improve my business skills and even worse for my mindset. I know I bounced all over but any input would be great. BTW I'm in Chicago area.

First of all, congrats on having several years of money and expenses saved up.

Second, have you read Fastlane Millionaire? Or many of the gold threads on this forum? Taking action is the key.

Third, your dad and others around you are clearly not interested in thinking on your level. It's unfortunate but now's the time to put the muscle in your hustle and simply start designing and investing in your Fastlane. You have the time and resources.

It's a matter of accepting risk or being content with comfort.

No one can tell you what to do, or what direction to go in to be honest.

It's something you decide.

It would be so much easier if there were an answer, but there never is until you find out in the future.

I would form a business plan, get an understanding for exactly what you're going to do.

Have everything set in motion before you rush into things.

Jobs are merely jobs, there are many more opportunities out there.

Though the discovery process may be painful and dread-some at times.

Sometimes you have to venture into the unknown.
