To build on my parents' empire or to start from scratch

I posted a "drama" thread about my parents yesterday... but after considering everything, I realized that I'm going to lose so many opportunities by starting from scratch. Not that I am going to follow every word and advice that my parents tell me... but I might be more assertive this time around.

My parents have more experience than I do... but I won't let that keep me mum about my own dreams. I want to continue my parents' real estate business and it won't hurt me at all if I go and work for the government for a couple of years. I will still litigate and hopefully specialize in Taxation, Corporate Law, Civil Law, and Intellectual Property Law. If I'm going to live in my friend's house, I would not gain whatever my parents learned from their experiences.
