i was supposed to be a doctor. i took a pre-med course in college but i didn't push through with medicine. i already felt tired for it.
instead of taking up medicine, i started a business. it is going fine and still up until now so it is okay with them even if i had a career shift.

I don't know what my parents hoped me to be. My mom did mention that I should be a lawyer because I like to argue a lot, ha ha. I wanted to be a vet and it wasn't discouraged, except by my allergies to animals. They said they would be happy with whatever I wanted to be, but whenever I mentioned a career to them, I would get a disapproval or a "they don't make much money" answer. Luckily, I was a brat and didn't listen to my mom all that much. I am still pursuing my dream of being an artist and photographer and am beginning to make some progress.
My father was already a successful engineer, so we weren't too concerned about having a professional in the family.

my parents wanted me to be a lawyer...that's why in college i took up bachelor of science in accountancy and after i was planning to go to law school...it was acctually my dream to. but then later in college i fell in love and got married before graduation...too bad. now im in a call center company...im a call center agent, pays well anyway but its still my frustration so if given a chance and if the budget allows me ill pursue on going to law school,even if i wont be a lawyer in practice anymore at least ive reach my ultimate goal in life.
