because they said so

if that the case, where the students tend to listen and just follow what degree their parents wants for them in college then there is a high possibility that the student will later or sooner get tired/bored or somewhat unhappy with the course then shift in another course which happens to be a waste of time and so to speak "money" as well. as for me, i was the one who choose what i want to take up in college, i choose Computer Science but later shifted to Engineering. though i find both degree interesting enough.

It depends on the student, if the student want the course that he/she intend to follow then I think he/she will be successful. But if he/she was forced to take that said course I am sure that the students will not be successful. Just like me I was forced by my parents to take education and this month I will be graduating but i don't have any plans in pursuing this profession because it's not what I want and I don't prefer to be a teacher in my whole life. And besides for me it's not so practical to be a teacher nowadays because there are other jobs that offers a high salary unlike in a teacher it has a low salary but tons of paper works.

Students those who have not good exposures towards the oppurtunities have to depend on their parents or relatives to guide them.It is also sad that some people who want to study some course but settle down to other due to their economical background.it is mostly in that case,they say,'they said so'.
