Need advice

For context I’m in Orthapedics

Hey guys, decently new to the field (2 months) but need career advice. Currently a 20 yr old sophomore in college who just accepted an associate role with my Dads rep (you can imagine how I got that job) the Rep is a 1099 distributor but has 0 employees except me now and he’s about to retire. He’s offered me the job when he’s done in the next year or two max. What is the legality of me being my dad’s rep and if not legal is there a workaround like me just permanently being an associate rep role yet doing everything solo and maybe paying rep small fee to “run” the company on paper? Currently working 1-2x a week due to class schedule but will be able to work almost full time next yr due to taking classes online. Any advice helps.
