Been working in IT support roles for 4 years now, im 22, worked for 4 companies and gone from a starting 15k-20k in that time. I worked as a school tech - field engineer - Helpdesk - support analyst.
None of these roles has made me happy, and im having to commute for 2 hours a day everyday. Im not exactly setting the career ladder on fire, and feel im just sidestepping each time i move on.
Now, i dont know how much potiential i have in IT, im technically competant at my level, but bored stiff and do not enjoy my job. The people are nice, and the office environment is great.
However, i have been offered a Managment role in my father's company, starting on the basic rate of 20k + Company car/benefits. He has stated that he would want to pass the company on after a few years, and take a back seat. So, i could walk into a job with great prospects, 45 min daily commute, and a career for life(perhaps)
Now, am i being foolish even considering not taking this? There is this nagging feeling that im being fed a silver spoon, and there will be much resentment from current staff. I get on with them all on a social side, but dont know what to expect if i came into the company in a managment role when i worked in a unrelated field?
OCUK, help me think this through!
