Currently I’m working for the family business. I had job offer working for my county government as a marine biologist (passion). They are matching my current pay. This job has better benefits. This job would require me to work more hours in the week. I usually work 7am-1pm and then take phone calls through out the day. This year, we doubled our profits. And I am on track for a big salary boost and hiring another person to take my position. My question is, should I leave the family business for this new job? What would you pedes do?

So it mainly comes down to hours? Do you think at some point they might start adding on more responsibilities/hours with little increase in salary? Seems like more hours doing marine biology might be way less stressful but those hours you're currently working sound really nice. Any idea of the people you'll be working with? Douchebags can make any job miserable. Hope someone can give you good advice- marine biology sounds cool but your current situation sounds pretty sweet and you're good at it.
Adding more hours? No. No one works past 4pm. Sure we gotta answer phone calls everyday and even on weekends but the main work only takes 3-4 hours to do a day
