1. They want the best for you
Understand your parents point of view. They don’t want you to fail in life, and at the end of the day – they want your best interests at heart because they care about you. No parent wants to see their child in stress. Whatever they advise you, listen to it, and see if it is relevant to what you want to do in life. Think to yourself; will this make you happy?
2. The final decision is yours
You are not your parents. Even though they may advise you to a specific career, at the end of the day they aren’t living your life. This is YOUR life, not theirs. You will not be with your parents forever.
3. Discuss with your Parents
Talk to them about your career plans. Show them that you care about your chosen career and want to pursue it. Or if you don’t have a set career in mind and want to study further. Be clear, confident. Maintain your cool on their displeasure about your plans.
4. The desire for Something Different
If you have no desire to work in the field that your parents want you to, make it clear to them. Don’t feel pressured to develop an interest for a career If it’s not appealing to you.
5. Interests and possibilities
Make a list of your interests and work out all the possibilities. Your decision may change, but that is natural. It’s just nervousness. However, if you think that you could do better in another field then, by all means, go for it!
6. Mutual Understanding.
Nothing says you’re growing up like treating your parents with respect despite having opposing views. This might even make your parents understand that you’re growing up and give you more freedom.
7. Parents acceptance
Remember your parents are likely to be more accepting of your career aspirations if you have shown an interest in this career or you enjoy doing things related to this career before. This will let them know you have a legitimate interest in this career rather than choosing it out of the blue with no knowledge or interest of it.
8. Respect
Never be rude to them, all parents have expectations from their children, hence make them understand very politely about your choice of career
