I knew a guy in real life who's dad built a profitable septic tank company from scratch. he expected his son to follow in his footsteps and take it over one day. The son passed; he could just not see himself in that industry and went into marketing. Caused a bit of stress in their relationship.

I can imagine how that conversation went. Something along the lines of “I’m sorry, dad. I respect what you’ve built, but I just don’t want to deal with this shit.”
