WHAT ARE THE REASONS WHY YOUR PARENTS MAY NOT WANT TO SUPPORT YOUR CHOSEN CAREER?

When choosing your career, you must consider certain things; things like your hobbies, what subjects you liked best, the economy of your country, and most of all, your parents’ decision. Your findings on all these will determine what suits you best as a career choice. Although some of them have little or more roles to play in your decision making process, the one that has a really major role to play is that of your parents’ choice.

However, for a number of reasons, your parents may not want you to choose a particular career. This is because they may not feel equipped to fully help or support you with those career decisions. This can happen because they have your best interest at heart and would want something that will yield good fruit for you in the future. They would want you to make your choices from careers in law or medicine, or even something more practical instead of your dream of being a painter or an artist, etc. Well, below are the some of the reasons why your parents may not support your choice of career.

 

A TARNISH TO THEIR IMAGE  There is this belief that the career
you choose might stain the life which your parents lead. Because when we see someone else doing something that we’re too scared or lazy to do, it’s easy to feel bad about ourselves, and to resent that someone for “making” us feel that way.

THEY NEED YOU AROUND This often happens with children who are either an only child, only girl or only boy of their parents. Parents often find it difficult to let their only children or their main life support leave them and go too far, I must say that giving up your own ambitions to care for loved ones is nothing short of heroic.
You need to be careful here though, because sometimes parents use this as a convenient excuse to keep them from taking a scary leap. 

THE FEAR OF CHANGE Parents often fear that their children will deviate from the belief they were trained with, and start living in a different and uncomfortable world where their rules are not followed.  Well, everything changes, nothing stays the same.

THE NEED TO PROTECT YOU The last thing parents would want for their children is to see them fail, especially after they have trained them well and sent you to good schools. They would want you to succeed and never fail, that is why they might feel that the career you have chosen will not make you succeed.But that is not how things work, preventing a child from harm is exposing him/her to more danger. I truly believe that going all out to achieve your dream is reward enough in itself, even if you never quite reach it. Just in that journey you’ll feel alive more than you ever have before.
APART FROM THE ABOVE LISTED REASONS, ARE THERE OTHER REASONS WHY YOUR PARENTS WILL REFUSE YOU TO TAKE UP YOUR CAREER? IF THERE IS, YOU CAN COMMENT ON THEM...
