So my Dad, 50, wants me to get hired at his workplace. My, 18m, birthday was on the 16th. Now that I'm 18, I'm able to join him at his workplace. He works at a place that makes fiberglass insulations for things like tanks, industrial stuff, pressure vessels, and even stuff for the military like engine enclosures for destroyers, for example. He makes a little south of $100,000 a year. Suffice to say, it's good money. Especially for someone fresh out of highschool like me.

I would be working full time, $20ish an hour. The main reason he wants for me to get a job is so that me, my dad, and my sister, 22, can all combine our incomes and get out of the shithole we live in, get a nice car, have my dad fix his teeth, etc.

It's very enticing. The money is mostly why I'm interested, but I'm just really apprehensive. For one thing, it would only be my second job ever. I currently work at a Gordon Food Service making $13 working 4 days a week. I've been working here for about 4 months. It's definitely not as good money as $20 an hour full time, but it's comfortable work I like with people I like. I don't wanna just quit my job so I can get a whole new job that I know hardly anything about.

For another thing, I feel like work like that is too much for me, especially as a stupid 2.091 gpa 18 year old who's only work experience is in a grocery store. I don't know anything about welding or fiberglass or any of that. I couldn't even manage to pass my pre-calculus class.

My dad hasn't told me anything about it, either. I don't think he knows what position I'll get or the work I'll do. I don't wanna quit my current job I like and risk starting a new job I despise that I know nothing about, care nothing about and have no experience in whatsoever.

But also, it's for my family. It would help a lot. I feel selfish for not wanting to take this job because we need the money. I feel awful for putting my own self interest before the rest of my family. What do I do?

I (17m) may or may not have purportedly, allegedly, hypothetically, theoretically, perhappenstance, in a purely speculative scenario, under circumstances neither confirmed nor denied, committed an act that one may choose to describe as "punched a hole in my wall because I accidentally deleted a project that I had been working on for 2 weeks and I got really pissed off." What can I say happened to cover it up?
