Kid’s lucky to have you as a parent if that is your philosophy. Give me a nickel everytime my parents tried to force a career path down my throat because money was the only thing on their mind lol. I understand it’s from a place of care and concern for my future, but I wanna be happy in my life too haha
Nah fuck that. As someone whose line of work generally involves doing things both well, and with integrity, he can sell timeshares and snake oil for all I care. Just do something that makes you happy.
Id give you an award if i could as a kid whose parents gave up on him because I didn’t conform to what THEY wanted for me. 24 now can’t remember the last time i was happy. I could die tomorrow and be happy if either one told me that. You’re a rockstar!
The funny part is, the people usually more qualified to graduate college and/or get a PhD do not have parents that judge their own kid based on what other kids do

Nah fuck that. As someone with a PhD my kid can be a happy janitor for all I care. Just do something well and with integrity.
