My family runs a trophy and medal business. The shop is my father’s pride and joy, he worked hard and the business provided what we needed. But ever since the pandemic, our income plummeted. What we earn now is just enough to keep us afloat.

I am the successor of the shop, I have no idea nor experience in the field of business. My father was diagnosed with alzheimer’s and my mother has hypokalemia. I am senior in college and debating whether I should drop my degree and work on the shop.

I have been reflecting over this since my parents can’t work like they can before. I am scared that the business will be unsalvageable when I come up with a decision. The shop feels like ticking bomb and I am panicking on how to defuse it.

I hope you can give me some tips? Thank you everyone.
