It sounds like your parents might be recent immigrants, or possibly Asians?
In any case this country is full of pushy parents who want what they think is “the best” for their kids.
It’s quite possible you won’t easily change their attitudes toward education and social status. You may have to develop a thick skin and sense of humor about it. Suck it up as good practice for when they start pestering you about getting married or cranking out grandbabies.
