Hi all, when I used to talk to my parents about my future and what I want to try to do they usually shut down the idea and say the conventional go to college get a safe job etc and I would try to say why I want to do for a career is a good idea. I did stopped talking about them with it for the past month since as much as I argue I am not getting anywhere with it. I have been taking actions talking to people who work in the fields and getting part time jobs that teach me skills and did have a business this summer. My parents have scheduled college visits, trying to get me to go to college fairs, and so on. I don't just want to say F*ck you to them and have a bad relationship with them but I can't see a way where I do what I want with my career and they are happy. (What I've been working towards is corrections and military reserves and with the money from that start buying properties and renting them out). I am just lost and have no ideas on how to handle the situation.
