I do help them out even when I'm in school also. But I do agree with you, working under someone is a pain in the ass and if anything work towards being your own boss. I do want to open up a business but don't know if it's going to be a resturant or a start-up.

Well I think my salary at my resturant will probably be more than me getting a degree but I don't want salary to be the deal breaker.

i am also stuck in the similar boat. being in my final semesters, its tough thinking about what to do in the future such as whether continuing school via diplomas in bcit/ubc to please parent or pursuing a job i have passion about like humanitarian work and aid.

Yeah, that's why I want to take some business courses and have some general knowledge of how business works/runs. Well I've talked to my dad before and he said his dream was to franchise the resturant and my mom said she wants me to own my own resturant one day. Well what I just typed out pretty much sums up what I should do but iuno guess we'll see in the coming years, things do change.
