I am already 28 and still confused on what career I should take. I am a nurse but I am not committed to it so I'm still trying to figure out what kind of career I should take. It feels like I am running out of time of paying back my parents on what they deserve after having a hard time raising us. I want to treat them and spoil them in a lot of ways.

Not all the people would think of oaying back what their parents has done . Relax , you have a good motive , You go on with a career that will not only benefit your parents but also you.

@kpv92690 yeah...I know the feeling been there I have learned that a constant communication, a little bonding with you friends or having time to say hi hello, Is so mich appreciated by them.
Dont be busy..Time is sometimes all they need from you.

yes, do it while you still have your parents with you. I lost both of them and I still feel bad that I could have done this and that.. and it's too late.

@kpv92690 yes, but when they passed away my career was not that good yet. yes do that, there will be no great happiness to see that they were treated that way.

I am sure you'd find your true purpose real soon. And I admire you for thinking about your parents' welfare.

I'm have similar feelings. My parents have always been kind to me and we get along well, but I barely make enough to get myself by, let alone pay them back. But they deserve to be paid back, every cent or more if I could. I feel like I've wasted my time because I want to pay them back as well for all that they've done for me (and all that they still do for me). At least you have some sort of heading, I think a nursing career is amazing but if it's not something you're happy with or you're only doing it for the money to pay mom and dad back then maybe you should change careers. It is still YOUR life and you've got to be happy too.
maybe give small payments or gifts? or save up a certain amount of money each week? i'm sure they'll appreciate you in any way

I guess I am not the only who's worried about this. That's really helpful Bree, thank you. I'm thinking about saving and treating them overseas for a vacation, at least to relax for a little bit. My mom is really practical and prefers gifts like groceries, lol. She doesn't want to dine out but instead cooks at home. So I hope she'll never turn down if I treat them on a vacation.

Good thought. Make them happy. Feel them special. Tell them how much they are important for you. Entertain them.
