I'm sorry to hear that pam. While it is important to listen to your parent's words and advises, it is also important that you do things at your own freewill. Are you the only child? maybe they are too worried about you and didn't really want to get you out of their sight. You have to sit and talk to them and show them your plans. You make a plan for yourself and tell them about that. Letting them know that you have plans will let them know that you are taking responsibility of your own life. Assure them that you are old enough to take good care of yourself (say it nicely dear, don't be arrogant in saying that). Tell them that you appreciate their advices and that you need to do something for yourself because you cannot be dependent on them for the rest of your life. Perhaps what you can do is to show them that you are a responsible person.

Sometimes but, I explain them carefully so that they will understand what I'm trying to say sometimes I do a letter for them If they don't want to listen to me personally. and I'll give them honest words for they can trust me of what I'm going to do with mylife.

listening to what your parents think is an important thing to do, but you must also do what you feel is right, and if that means standing up to your parents and going against their wishes then so be it.
if you choose a job that they don't approve of, there really isn't much they can do, after all it is you who will be working there, not them.
anyway, if you still find that your parents are holding you back from what you want to do as a career, then you could always explain to them that you will go ahead and work there, but to bear in mind that you can always change jobs if it doesn't work out for you.
