Throughout your childhood and early adulthood, debating has been your life's greatest passion. Since middle school, you have spent hours each week trying to improve, working with your coaches, and going to tournaments every week to improve your skills and one day be a World Champion. Everyone, including yourself, has deemed it inevitable that you will be World Champion one day. After a grueling selection process, and years of trying, you finally make the National Team.

However, in your senior year of high school, your national team loses the final of WSDC in a 5-4 split, ending your dream of being World Champion. For the last few weeks, you have been heartbroken, and desperately wanted to return to WSDC for one last shot. 

This debate assumes: 

The individual is a recent college graduate with job offers in careers aligned with their education and skills.

The family is actively encouraging or pressuring the individual to join the family business.

The family business is a functional entity, offering a career path for the individual.

The individual’s education and expertise are in a non-business field unrelated to the family business (e.g., medicine, engineering, arts, or academia).

The debate excludes extreme circumstances (e.g., financial emergencies requiring immediate intervention) and focuses on long-term career decisions.
