its pretty typical of asian parents. almost nothing is good enough.
friend is an anesthesiologist making over 350k, his mom says "only surgeons are real doctors". Even my own parents... i thought about being a dentist because its 4 years after college and done. That idea got shut down quickly. I went through the grind and do primary care now. pretty much the lowest paying doctor job but i enjoy it. Dad who makes 3x my salary in his specialty field still says i should put in more time into training and be an oncologist or cardiologist because "its prestigious".
do what YOU love. but have a plan or roadmap of where you see yourself into the future. grinding to move cars off a lot can't be done forever. a degree will be a good thing to fall back on just in case.
