<p>Hooray for the triumph of free will over the altruistic surrender! And on that note, my step-mom wants me to be an automobile mechanic, my grandfather wants me to be a lawyer, and nobody else shows any interest in my future… Law is currently my number one choice though(:</p>

Why don’t you just show her how much you don’t know in CS?</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s pretty clear she knows nothing about Computer Science. She’s also delusional about Medicine, but that’s a bit harder to demonstrate to her.</p>
<p>Tell your mom it’s your god damn life and you’ll do what you want with it. Jesus, do any of you have any backbone at all?</p>
<p>Do you have no respect for your parents? There’s the truth and there’s being nice.</p>
<p>

<p>Jesus is only one man, use singular.</p>
<p>^ Very nice ■■■■■■■■ </p>
<p>Ah, Doctors and lawyers. Parents always want their children to do this. Law isn’t even that lucrative anymore, so many grads are working at McDonalds rather than at a law firm. Almost no firms are hiring.</p>
<p>We need to grow up, and be realistic. If everyone was a lawyer or a doctor, the world wouldn’t be a very productive place.</p>
<p>
What’s the point of respecting someone if they have absolutely no respect for you or your decisions?</p>

I’m sorry, I missed the part where the OP said that he would be paying for college himself.</p>
