Hard Discussions...

If you have talents for music it'd be a good idea to work on music. Take a little counseling. . Perhaps that will make it clearer what career you should opt for.

Some would say follow your heart. Some would say dads know best. In the end, it's up to you.

I would just tell my parents that but my parents aren't the normal kind of parents. They just want me to be happy and successful in life and if I am happy and loved then I am successful. You have to do what makes you happy in life.

Have a back up plan. You don't need schooling to be successful. If you're content with busting your balls for your passion, do it. I had a very similar situation growing up. Parents wanted me to be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer. None of those things interested me at all. I chose my own life path, and though it is filled with many hardships, I feel like I'm doing what I need to do. And it's working out pretty well. So I say make that leap of faith, but have a back up plan just in case.

I know sometimes it's difficult. But according to me you should do what you like... But before that you should convince your parents for your dream. They will understand your feeling if you are right trust me.

Welcome to myLot.

try to express your future plans to him, psychology is a good subject in deed.

Sometimes we are not mature to take decision of our that's what our parents think. If you know that you can make your profession in what you are thinking then you should go with it and convince your father for it.

I think you can try to talk with him. Try to explain your side.

Maybe you could have an open discussion with your dad and try to talk through your options. I'm sure your dad just wants you to be financially secure and very happy. You can always go to university later in life. My friend just changed careers and became a lawyer at age 42. Perhaps you could find out what works for you and if the lifestyle suits you and if not try something else.

Sometimes I feel the same way. Standing up to your parents/ parent/ gaurdian can be hard.
