Is anyone else incredibly frustrated with how little their parents understand them and their goals?
>want to own a brewery >not large scale big stuff, just a small place that makes beer for the people who are there to enjoy it >trying to home brew, investing in equipment and trying to gain knowledge >mom just wants me to go back to school >tried it, didn't even want to, sucked at it, nearly killed myself during it >not going back >everything is go back to school >talking about my vision on it >"So what do you have to do to get training to make beer? There are probably certificates for it." >no, you either get a job with a brewery or do your best to learn yourself >with the state of the world trying to learn myself for now is the best option >"Well trade schools probably teach about being a beer maker" Jesus fucking Christ
I appreciate that sentiment, I'd like to have a beer with you at your brewery, user.

Lad dont take offence. You probably have a bad track record of succeeding. Hence why youre here
Do you know how many people tell their parents theyre going to become a famous business person. Almost all of them fail
Give them hard proof that youre succeeding. Get a successful kickstarter going. What makes you sure youre going to succeed?
If youre living under your parents roof either give them tangible results or just go to your shitty beer trade school then start your brewery. Probs the safer option anyway. Youre posting on r9k. I doubt youre a savvy genius

Thanks. I just want to make the people who come to have it happy. I don't want to be the next big thing, just happy.
My parents don't give me the freedom to try. They hover over me for everything and it's resulted in anxiety for when I try to do something myself. I'm so used to them not allowing me to grow up and be my own person that I'm afraid to do it.
Some things though I really enjoy doing with my father, that's different I think. We have a good time chumming around on brew days. Plus you need an extra hand for a lot of things.
fuck off retard beer trade school literally doesn't exist quit acting like a fucking boomer

Lad im just giving you hard truth no need to turn into some angry person when faced with the fact that youre likely not being rational to your parents
Why cant you get a degree then focus on your passion project on the side? Inb4 your 'brewery' is just a cope so you can brew beer for cheap and drink yourself silly sampling them all

Fuck off nerd your fucking tough love bullshit doesn't encourage anyone to do anything.

All im saying is its likely if you put all your eggs in the self employed brewery basket your life might go down the toilet
And Im sure your parents are aware of that. Use that information as you will. I doubt you parents are being cruel though, I imagine theres real facts on why they dont want you go to self employed brewing beer. Do you have any knowledge on starting a PLC / limited company? Whats your business plan? Projections?
