You have chosen your profession because your parents chose for you, or was your

It seems this is a common failing of many parents in the world. All parents want their children to be useful persons,some successed and some failed. No all the children like to follow the way their parents want them to be,I think that parents can guide the children but should not force them to do those things they do like~coz' children have their own options too~

My parents told me to do what i want to do, but something that will bring me more money then they earn now, because i`ll need money in my life, now, it`s harder . They didn`t told me what to be, but i chosen to go to college in economics , management . I`m now in my 3th year of college and after thouse 3, i must make other 2 of Master . Anyway, from this summer i`ll search for a job, even if it`s har on this crisis ...

I just sort of drifted into my profession...

ice, In my ambition i wanted to became a doctor, but the circumstances made me as a public relation job, but i accepted whole heartily and loved it also, because i learned lot of general knowledge, in that carrier, this was my own decision at the same time i got full cooperation with my parents.

It's the trend or customs before i guess, because there's a saying that Parents knows best.Some even goes beyond dictating what to do when their child graduates.They will say they have lots of experience to prove that they know what is right for them.For me that was before,young ones today are fast learner maybe because of the many mediums used in teaching today not like before.I let my child to chose what she wants to be when she go to college.We'll support her all the way.

I chose the profession by myself. I like the major that I am studing in and my parents support me.So there is no dispution between my parents and I on this issue.

My life is mine, and mine alone. my usband and I agree on the same things, and had the same values before we even met eachother. We do what is right for usm not what our parents decided foor us.

My parents never pressure me to choose my profession. They let me choose what suit me best. Likewise, I don't aim for the moon with my sons choice of career but I did give them guidance in the early stages but in the end they made their own wise move to choose their professions.

Hi icesmile :D My course is Education and currently I now love it!! (especially when I experienced OJT) But during my early years in college, neither did I choose this profession nor my mom chose it for me.. We just personally chose it out of practical reasons but at first I didn't like it.. During those times we really have no money so I was forced to study in a public school and take this course instead. =( At first it was all hard.. my grades were deeply affected because I didn't like what I was doing (that's why I'm spending another year in college).. but have no other choice but to pursue this course.. But in the latter years I have learned to love my profession not only because I have no other choice but also because I learned the value of teaching during my on-the-job training year. It really felt good and I believe this is my calling because I can see it in my students each time I teach.. :D Anyway, someday I also plan to pursue my passion (which is writing) probably after graduation.. I'd like to take a Master's degree which concentrates on English.. :D Take care and God bless :)

If I had followed my parents advice then I would have ended up working in a bank, because back when I left school it was seen as a solid career to get into which you would have for life. Well I never went into banking and much to my parents bemusement I have had several different jobs each have taught me a new profession and skills from IT through to butchery & fish mongery amongst many others. If in the unlikely situation I ever had children I would hope that the only influence I had on my children when it came to work was making them understand that happiness in work is more important than a big pay cheque and job security is never guaranteed.

Hi, my parents want me to be a doctor, but unfortunetly i even can not stand in hospital for few minutes, & i was not too much interested in science, so i choose commerse now i'm doing my CA studies, i like to be a CA,& now my dad is also proud of me as i'm going for a reputed profession.I think we should do in which we are interested,fianally our parents want our happiness,even i was feeling guitly for two years but now when i see they are happy for me so i think i was not wrong.

I was the one who chose this profession and I never regret it. My father gave me a lot of freedom to choose whatever I want to choose and do whatever I want to do with my life. He supports me and guides me along the way. He didn't want to choose a profession for me because he didn't want me to blame him in the future if in case I will not be happy about it. I chose to be a nurse and he was happy about my decision too.

Well, right now i am still in college. It was my choice no other person either my parents or my friends insisted me to choose what course i will be taking at. If you are in a democratic country, you know what was freewill means.Your child is free for whatever decisions he will made just like choosing a profession that they want to be. If you insisted him and he has no interest for that, it will be useless.Because interest on one thing is the primary factor that you must consider in order to obtain a happy or satisfying result. Good day.

Well, if you failed to take the profession then you insist it to your son or daughter it is not fair.Because you are not him/her so why do you need to take a profession in which you failed to take. Here is my advice, dont insist your son or daughter in a thing that they want to be, the only thing you may do is to support them for whatever they wanted to be. Good day to all mylotters.
