Children also should try to convince the parents about their own niche. If the parents are ignorant, it's up to the children to talk about their strong traits and the demand for such skills
Yes, I agree, children should explain their parents...but most parents want their children to be a doctor, engineer, and these days most parents want their children to take up MBA. The idea of doing something else or studying something else is still a threat to some parents.
Still, the onus lies on the children to convince ignorant parents.
Children are convincing their parents but they depend on the money from their parents. So they cannot able to stand in their principles.
In that case, what parents are doing will prove that their children are the victims of bad parentage.
But sometimes children are not able to decide, this is where the parents need to come into picture and guide their children but certainly children should also explain their choice of career, academics to their parents without any fear.
