Listen to Parental Career Advice but Still Make Up Your Own Mind

Your parents want you to pick a certain career. You have your own career in mind, but want to listen to what they say. This article will guide you on how to find a middle ground.



== Steps ==

# Understand that your parents want the best for you. They don't want you to fail in life, and at the end of the day have your best interests at heart, because they care about you. No parent wants to see their child on the street. 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 me happy?

# 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.

# Talk to them about it. Show them that you really care about your chosen career and want to pursue it. Or, if you don't have a set career in mind and want to further your education, or go travelling, or want to see where life takes you, tell them this too. Be clear, confident and stand your ground. Maintain control over your life. (Watch the film 'Bend it like Beckham' for more help.)

# If you have parents who really can't see things from your point of view, take what they say on board but ultimately make sure that you have the final word. Once you are eighteen, or twenty one depending on which country you live in, your parents have no legal hold over you anyway.



== Tips ==

* Respect your parents and be nice to them. They made you, they pay the bills and provide you with food, love, care and support. Plenty of people in this world don't even have parents, or decent ones.



== Warnings ==

* Some parents like to pigeon-hole their children into doing careers that they have no interest in. This can lead to being depressed and unfulfilled as an adult. Would your parents rather that you do what you want and be happy, or be miserable?

* Never do stuff just to please your parents. You will never be happy that way.
