Why do parents always say that you should have clarity of what to do next while still in college. I know it’s important, but as time changes people change, and their opinion change too. How can they expect a child to get clarity on life? I know many people do get clarity of what they wanna do in the future but it’s not the same for all. After completing the degree if we don’t get a job then they pressure a lot, why cant they understand that it’s not that easy. This pressure gets into mind so much that we feel worthless.
My whole family expects me to go to a school and get a great paying job, but sometimes, some people, like myself, aren’t suited for college. Or sometimes we need a break. Just do you! Tell them and they will realize that you can be successful without college or a little bit of a break for yourself from school. It will get better just remember, you aren’t alone!
You are absolutely right. From our perspective, we feel pressure and we might also have this horrified feeling about our future and a lot of us don’t have clarity about what we wanna do in the future. This is totally normal. All of us need to find something of our interest, then develop the idea and this might take time until we figure out what we wanna do in our lives.
But talking from the parent’s perspective, They don’t tell us to decide for their benefit. They give pressure only because they want their children to be position where they don’t have to depend on anyone.
I would not say that parents are right about pressurizing us. But they are also not wrong.
Maybe, they would be the motivation we need in our life to move forward.
I don’t know if this helps you, but you can always think over this, take some time, talk to your parents and communicate about what is bothering you.
You’ve Got This!
