<p>My parents are trying to blackmail me into having Computer Science as a major. They refuse to help fund me, or assist me to get a student loan (I’m a minor- I need their signature!).</p>
<p>I know that Computer Science is a good major, but I do not want a job where I will look back when I’m 40 and curse myself for choosing the easy, risk-free path. </p>
<p>Ask your daughter if she REALLY wants that particular major. Warn her of the risks, but if she insists, SUPPORT her. She may end up resenting you if you fail in this basic need.</p>
<p>As for me, I’m looking for a scholarship where I won’t have to rely on my parents for anything.</p>
