my parents want me to be a big moneymaking success, but i dont want to do any of the careers they want me to do. they keep pressuring me to change my mind. how can i convince them to accept me?

i know exactly how that feels. my mother went to college at 16 and is a doctor and my father is an engeneer. both very smart and successful, and both want my syblings and me to be the same way. i remember how disapointed my mother was when i told her i wasnt to interested in medicin like her. they would always tell me to be a doctor or a lawyer or something big that i had no interest in. luckily my parents support my dream of being a therapist (i know, shocker that that's what i want to be), but i can see how no all parents are like that. you just need to sit them down and say, "look, sorry but i'm not into that. im going to do my own thing.". if that doesnt work, just remeber: it's you're life. not your parents. dont let them force you into doing something you're going to be unhappy with for the rest of you're life. they may not like it, or you may feel bad about disapointing them, but when it comes time to seiously make a decision about your life, make sure it's something you want to do. not something they told you to do. it may be hard to believe, but them pushing you to be some super moneymaking success just means they really love you. theyre just trying to do whats best. but somethimes only you can make that decision. leave a comment if you want and i really hope this helps!
