<p>I’m sorry. I know that parents want their children to have financial stability in life, but to insist on a specific major that the student isn’t interested in is just plain wrong. I would no more insist that my child major in a STEM field than I would insist that he/she major in a foreign language, music, or philosophy.</p>
<p>You may be stuck if you require parental money to go to school and if your mother won’t budge. In that situation I would say take one computer science course and give it your best shot. If you hate it, then tell your mother that you never understood it/barely got through it/dreaded every moment of going to class/etc. I can’t imagine that a parent in his/her right mind would not have some compassion for a child in that situation. If you like the course, then take another. I don’t believe that you should force yourself to major in something that you dislike, but this may buy you some time.</p>
<p>Best wishes.</p>
