@SW-User it’s so hard to hear so much negativity from people I love about a career I’m passionate about and have been studying

What are their objections ? It’s an honorable profession and a calling for most who do it. Talking about leaving the world a better place than you found it.

@bijouxbroussard it is my calling ! Every moment I’m in field experience I feel great! They’d rather I be an elementary teacher

Stop talking to them about your career choices. If they bring it up just let them know that it is not a topic up for discussion. If they can't abide by this stop talking to them until they do.

I realize this is your parents but they have no right and if you keep defending yourself they will have the idea they have some sort of power. Cut it off.

I’ll try ... it’s hard when I live with them @JaggedLittlePill
