    They wanted medicine, I wanted something like psychology(I have always held an unparalleled inquisitiveness in this field, a limitless thirst for knowledge, I guess you could say its a passion of mine) or marketing(marketing because it encompasses significant amounts of psychology, a point that is often overlooked when we think of the field of marketing as we often associate the discipline with pure commerce and doing so is a fallacy). I ended up enrolled in law with a commerce component and some days I regret it. Its a practical area to get involved in and is useful in that it is a degree "with horns" but ultimately it has never really been a passion of mine. On the bright side at least law does carry with it a psychological aspect at times and I always eargerly anticipate units that involve at least some degree of psychology. Sentencing law is a good example actually.

    Law. I didn't have much choice. My mother is a lawyer and expected me to be her sucessor. My father is an engineer but I never had talent in sciences so that career was out of question for me.

    In the end their pressure was wise, as I do not regret becoming a jurist.

    They never pressured me into anything besides pursuing an academic career. I did a degree and master in basically what I had most interest but eventually ended up as an accountant\financial controller.

    One of the worst acts a parent can do is push their child into a field they have no interest and at worse have no aptitude for. A rational parent allows a child to choose what naturally suits them. Even if that path involves 99.9% of failure (acting for example) they should be allowed to take the risk. It's not like they can't find a decent job if it doesn't work out and all that really matters is they are able to support themselves. To push the child to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. is simply the parent being selfish.
