Would you rather work for a large corporation or your dad?

If my dad were alive, I would definitely prefer working for him.

If I were a young person starting out, I'd rather work for a large corporation because of the training such corporations provide, the opportunities they offer and the cachet they can add to a resume. It
is much easier to move from a large corporation to a small one than the reverse. I did, in fact, work for my father during my summers while in high school, college and graduate school. The family business was not one which would have fully utilized my talents or, long term, suited my personality, so I did not make a career of it, but I always enjoyed the experience of working with my parents.

Again, I'd rather work for a large corporation. If there are problems there is no risk of damaging a personal relationship.

I'd rather work for my Dad, but my dad would probably not be able to pay me near what I'm making at my current job. Sorry, Dad, but I have to support my family.

I'd rather work for my dad. There is no garuantee in having a job in five years with a large corporation any more. I'd rather spend that time helping the good of my family along.

I'd rather work for myself or a large corp. I don't think I could work for my dad.
