How "stuck in their ways" are your brother and dad? Since you are coming from an outside perspective, you will probably quickly realize there are some things that can be done better. Will they take your advice, or dismiss it because "you haven't been around"?

I think the only way I would do this would be if I had a significant amount of decision authority.

Does the family business provide decent benefits to owners/employees? Be sure you're comparing apples to apples: being your own boss offers as many drawbacks as opportunities. Healthcare costs, 401(K)/retirement, tuition reimbursement, stock options....Fortune 500 may feel like a noose, but it's a cushy noose.

Does your present job offer no opportunities for advancement? You sound bored in your present position. You may need a challenge, but that doesn't mean stepping into a (smallish) family run business is the right choice.
