hmm..no, I do understand it's hard for you. I do get his point of view as well, but in fact, the biggest trouble with parents' wish for their kid is that sometimes it doesn't match the kid's wish per se. Like, you couldn't have done something that you didn't like/enjoy, now, could you?
But to be honest, it would've been cool if we were "colleagues". *chuckles* Haha, no, seriously now, the most important 2 things for a job, in my opinion, are to be enjoyable, to be that something you desire, and to bring money. Not a mountain of money, of course, but to ensure a decent living. The rest doesn't matter. For example, I have a friend who likes philosophy and went to the philosophy university, but honestly, that's not gonna ensure him a living. And it's not ok...
I've heard tons of stories of people who went to universities picked by their parents because it was something their parents had wanted them to study and they didn't like it at all. Here, parents can only suggest what you might be good at(because, well, parents know their kids well, his/her abilities and weaknesses), but the decision is only the kid's.
