    Mom wants me to be a chippendale or a lawyer and my dad wants me to be a doctor. Grandparents want me to be a heart surgeon or a priest. Right now I'm on the path to becoming a history professor or an archaelogist for the dept. of the interior.

    They wanted me to either be a Vet or an Artist or a Doctor -- I'm none of the above

    My mum wanted me to go to university because I would have been the first in my direct family to go, but she didn't care what career I would choose. However I didn't even complete high school so I totally screwed that up.

    Coming from a large family, my parents always encouraged us to follow our dreams and wanted us to choose some form of education to fulfill them. Hence we have polititians, nurses, teachers, quilters, and artists. They were fully supportive of our choices.

    My parents financed my educational path, although I contriubted to same over many years, as well. They did not interfere in the career path I chose on my own. As such, it would seem that they agreed and supported my decisions. I enjoyed a very successful career, retiring at age 55, some sixteen years ago.

    Luckily, my parents left this decision to me. their only demand was to get a good education, and they supported that. I went to college and majored in art history. I am a museum curator, things worked out nicely.

    They wanted me to be a doctor. I'm a disappointment in that regard!
