Hello .. some parents force their children into some studies , as they want their children to be something remarkable in thier lives , maybe a lot of you have been through that .. for those who are forced to study something they might didn't like before , will you keep in that fieled or you will go in another one ??

Yes , I do , I have always been interested in computers and pcs , and I always wanted to get to know how all the things that make computers so special work and i wanted them to make them work myself too . When i first opened a website , i was like i wanna make one too . really that is the case , so i knew exactly what i was going to take up in my degree course and i took up information technology and computer science and no doubt , i enjoyed my studies because it was something i always wanted to do , so why be sad , though it gets difficult , but when you are interested you get over these minor things easily . Just now i am still into my degree and i gonna take up computers only in my university too .

well my parents never forced me into any study all they ever wanted for me was to graduate from high school and be happy with my life. well they have got one of the things that i wanted they have gotten through my high school and am starting college in the fall but im not quiet sure if im happy with it all. im so excited about college that i am so nervous it is coming so fast but then i deffly afraid that i could mess up and fail. i dont think parents should pressure there child(ren) into any study i think that they should pick the study that they want on there own and should only have help deciding if asked.

I seriously had no choice because I just didn't listen to my heart. I have a found a way in which I can use my education for doing what I like, which will not be so permanent but worth it while it lasts and I know it will last for long, if everything goes the right way. I know God is there to help, HE will do the best for me.

Base on my personal experience... I should say that parents should listen to their children in what they want to be in the near future. By doing this, your children has a bigger chance to become successful in the near future.

I would definitely want to pursue where I want to go so long as I have the means too. I do not want to spend the rest of my life regretting what I do and thinking of those "what if's". So when you take that brave move of changing courses, you should prove them all wrong and stand-up for it. Don't ever ever ever give up for if you do, you will be the one losing here.
