Stop Asking Me About My Major

Before reading this article, I knew much about the subject.
I want to know more about ways to tell my parents that whichever career goal I decide to go with, I will be sticking with it. I agree when the author says, it's better than majoring in something that you like, rather than something you don't enjoy, because it is shown that once you take interest in your major, you will more likely be motivated more to do the course work. Through observation, I've seen my parents attempt to control my younger sister's college and career goals. Even though she is only sixteen years old, my parents are pushing her to stay in the medical field, and become an anesthesiologist or a neurologist. However, my sister is an excellent artist, and even though she highly takes interest in art, unfortunately, she won't be able to pursue it, due to the fact that my parents repetitively stated, "art will not take you far in life". Even though I feel guilty of just standing in the side lines watching this, I take note to myself that this won't ever happen to me.
I learned from reading this material that I'm not the only student who seems to have to switch their major due to their parents. I realized that I'm not alone, and there is a way to not make this situation happen. Even though it will take a lot of time and convincing, this will be worth it in the end.
