    I have a theory that the family run business is going to be make a come back.

    For decades, kids have spurned working in the family business in favour of going to University and getting into middle class white collar work. But that pathway is closing off and in the near future, if not already right now, the best advice is to work on your fathers bakery and make enough to get by.

      That assumes father has a bakery. Supermarkets have driven many bakers, butchers, fishmongers, etc out of business over the past few decades.
