I worked at a CPA firm a few years ago and all of the accountants working there had at least a BBA in Accounting, except for the son of one of the partners. His daddy gave him a job making just as much (probably more) than us college graduates, and he had nothing more than a high school diploma. He was taking night classes at the local community college, and he wasn't anywhere close to getting a bachelors. It was known that when daddy was ready to retire, his son would get his partnership interest.
Since the kid was the owners (partners) son I don't see anything wrong with the situation. The guy wants to pass on his share of the business to his son he should be able to do it.
I worked at a large multinational corporation and the nepotism was amazing. The head of staff H.R. had two sons working at the plant in staff positions, one was "average" and one was a bit "dull" but BOTH were "managers" in 1/4 the time it took other more talented individuals to make that grade level.
Another incident- The Q.A. manager hires the daughter of his buddy as a temporary. She had just graduated the local State U with a degree in marketing. Two years later she is the Q.A. engineering section manager. She has NO ENGINEERING experience, no additional education. She was VERY good at kissing boots though.....
In a privately held company it's no one's business but the owners. If employees don't like it, they know where the door is.
In public corporations and publicly funded organizations no one should be hired just because they are related to someone else, however if they are the most qualified applicant, why not hire them?

If you don't like Nepotism, don't move to small towns. We've had lots of experience with it. Even in a town of 200,000, and with 30 years of nursing experience as an RN, you have to "know someone" to get a job. My wife works in a hospital that is full of it. Everyone in town knows it. Apply through HR without special help from inside? You're wasting your time, unless they're really desperate to fill the job, and can't find anyone.
