Pretty safe assumption.

So figure that part out; don't just grasp at the family business because you're bored. Dad tells you he doesn't trust brother to run the company--in essence, your brains & effort will be subsidizing brother's lack of skills. How do you feel about THAT? (Or maybe Dad's overly focused on the college degree & brother can run the business by himself. In which case why would he want YOU splitting the profits?)

Anyway, think about why you're bored and see if you can't identify other possible positions before you follow the path of least resistance back into the family fold. A sign business doesn't strike me as the world's most stimulating enterprise....

I would say it's a pretty interesting opportunity. If you go there and you only last a few years before some Dynasty BS happens to you and family biz or just family-related drama crops up, you should have a fairly great understanding of the business and an educational and work-foundation in place to where you could perhaps strike out on your own to compete and or just go your own way.

You could also pivot back and say that you wanted to press pause during your kid's formative years before diving back into the corporate world.

Either way I think its a great dilemma to have.
