Have any of you run into parental conflict with what you want to do with your life? I'm deadset on my career choice and I'm STILL getting talks from my parents about "rethinking my career path" and "looking into other fields". It pisses me off. I know what I want to do with my life, and I know it's not going to be easy. I'm not going to take it lightly. I have a dream, and I will put everything I have into fulfilling it. I have another dream, and if I can't fulfill the first, I will do my damndest to fulfill the second one. I just want to do something good with my life. I know I'll be happy with what I do for the rest of my life. I've had a taste of it, I know what I'll be working with, and I'm happy with spending about 50 years doing it. I just am so sick of it. I might be forced to change my major because I can't afford the schools I want to go to. I don't want to. I really hate the idea of going into Computer Science instead of Video Game Design. I won't have as good of a chance at getting into my field, which Dad claims is "too narrow" as it is. I need every edge I can get, which is why I want a minor in Japanese Studies. I just... It's like they don't want me to go into what I want to go into, despite what they say. I feel like I'm letting them down. But honestly, I don't give a flying fuck. It's my life, and I don't want to be what they want me to be. I'm not them. I'm ME. I'm very clear to myself in that aspect. I won't let their desires dictate my future. The only thing they dictate is how much I can spend, and I'm going to make myself as independent from that as I can. I don't want to hear them talk about this anymore. I'm sick of it.
