What job does your parent want you to do?

[ireland1982]

Funny how parent wanted their children to be a doctor, lawyer or anything within the Upper-class catagory.

I failed what my parent wanted me to do and now, let say they don't treat you the same as before or they don't expect from you much.

Is it me or someone out there has the same similar story as me?

I dont know what they want me to do. I want to be an artist but they dont support me, I show them my art and they just go oh thats good. When my brother shows his art (which isnt better then mine -.-) they go amazing, thats just amazing. . . So now I never show them my art. :3 Then I tried cooking, but my Dad refuse to eat making me feel bad D:. They pretty much dont support me at all. . .

Its an Asian stereotype for parents to say they want their kids to grow up and become a doctor. Like mine for instance, except my dad recently yelled at me for choosing what my mom wants, not what i want. I was gonna follow the doctor career, but now i have no idea what i want to do.

Yeah, my mum wants me to be a doctor, too. I told her I wanted to be a social psychologist because it was really interesting. And she told me "No, you have get some type of job that will at least pay you well, then you can do what you want. And the doctor career is the only career that saves lives."



WHAT
THE
FREAK?!?!?! scream Psychology pays very well, and I can save people mentallyyyy, before they go psycho and get sick physically. talk2hand I thought she knew that... rolleyes

My parents wished I could be a lawyer or some s**t like that, but they just generally want me to do some silly 9 to 5 job that pays well.

I personally rather make music for a living. My parents are like "Uh.....no way..."  

[Ralphiie]

Aha~ My ma wants me to be a doctor.
But, surprisingly, I actually do want to work in the medical field.

/Plasticsurgeon/ ;o

My mom wants me to be an independent woman with a high-paying job, preferably the same job as my father, who is a SAP computer consultant or a doctor so I don't have to pay anything if anyone in the family gets sick. Computers are pretty cool to me, but I'm not sure I have the patience or the interest to learn all those codes and languages and programming. I am actually quite interested in the medical field, but unfortunately, I have a lack of self-esteem and am not sure if I could do well, and medical school costs a lot.  

[S.k.y.y]

When I was in high school, my parents actually asked me "So what do you want to do with your life? Do you want to be a doctor or a lawyer? Oh a pharmacist would be ok too." Right now I'm working on my undergrad in accounting, and I will probably be going to law school once I get my undergrad.

At first my parnets wanted me to become a doctor, then I told them the sight of blood makes me dizzy. Now I want to be some where in the financial career and they are happy. That is if I can get up to that point. sweatdrop  

[Teriyaki Tsubaki]

My parents know that I dont want to go into the medical field and since my dad is the Japanese one I was never really forced.
I want to do art....but like animation or game design or soemthing like that. My mom HATES that she wants me to like paint beautiful still life or something. no thx  

[sachiko_k]

My mother wanted me to become a doctor cause all of her side are lawyers or doctors. I wanted to be a plastic surgeon but now I'm studying to be a Dermatologist cause I'm into skin care. biggrin
