+330 It sucks when you are told that you should live for others sometimes too when all you are trying to do is pick your own career path. Seriously parents, its not like I am trying to become a stripper for a living, all I am saying is that I wish to research, not practice medicine. amirite?

but then again, even if u do choose another career path, theres nothing they can do about it, whether they like it or not.

how is research not living for others? you're curing thousands of patients, not just the few you see. i'm heading for research too, that argument makes no sense to me...

Live for others as in live for them and fulfil their dreams. *sigh*

Same issue. I'd rather be a biologist or a chemist, but that's not good enough. They can't bear that their daughter is going the doctor or lawyer route.

I'm pretty sure research is just as good of a carrer as practicing, better even.
