Skeptical Parents

So after a long heartfelt chat with my parents yesterday my mom doesn't think I should go to Columbia. I think she wants me to be a doctor or a lawyer or something but I have never really felt that I had what it takes to do that.(Or wanted what it takes for that matter.) She has always seen that I've reeked of creativity so I don't understand why she can't see that that's not what I want to do. I want to do something that allows me to express myself everyday. I don't care how much I get payed!(Though realistically I understand that we have a fucked up economy right now.) I guess she only wants what's best for me but still it would be nice if she would support me. Also I don't know how I'm gonna pay for school without her help lol.

    It's really hard to decide to do something you love, but keep reminding your parents that Columbia is, unlike a lot of arts schools, a liberal arts education. In most jobs, because of how highly educated our population is in this country, you need continued education. Having a liberal arts degree is valued in continued education and in a lot of professions (because you are "well rounded.")
