Dear Friends...
I am making this post because i want a feedback, a help to make a decision that i am supposed to be making on my own but cant.


Its regarding my career i know i
am supposed to be doing this on
my own but trust me i cant and if i could get some help i would be
really obliged...


I have completed my graduation in MBBS from outside India...yes technically i am a Doctor but i
never wanted to be one... I have expressed any interest in the
field ever but it was my father's decision... He wanted me to
become a doctor... I knew i never had it in me to become a doctor...I was and still am not someone who would be binded
by books...i never saw myself so serious and busy... I am not that
kinda person. I am a
creative person i enjoy doing things that does not handcuff me down... I agree there was my
mistake too that i never boldly said that i did not want to
become a Doctor maybe it was fear...maybe it was
that i wasnt sure what i wanted
back then...maybe i was sure my parents wouldnt support my
dreams and ambition when i was in 8th i had playfully but confidently told them of my desire that i wanted to work in the world of entertainment i was
lucky that i just got scolded that day and no further extreme
drama took place maybe thats the day i left that topic there but i dont think that dream ever died off it was there inside me burning alive but did not realize it until few months back. But back then when my dad
said about MBBS i couldn't fight him
today after all these years i have
realized that medicine is not my
passion... It never will be...This is not something that will make me happy and i
know it... I tried telling my father
but he is not trying to
understand. According to him its like you spent so many years
learning the subject what good would giving up all that do now? What will people say? What will our relatives say? I cannot make him
see that medicine is not something i will never be happy doing...that if should try and understand me than think about
my relatives and all those people...In other words my situation is almost 85% like that
of Farhan (R.Madhavan) in 3
Idiots... Yesterday my dad and uncle went to a hospital in my city to get me into training some clinical exposure of sorts they
came back home and announced that i am to go from this Monday ... What should i do guys?


I know i am a grownup that i can
say my heart out without fear...i know if i staunchly say NO it would hurt them but is it not better that i
hurt them now till they see how
happy i am when doing what i love to do? Or should i just go
with the hospital?


Should i follow my dreams and give them a chance or should i
just suck up to what is asked of me?


Please help me guys...the thought
that i have to go to the hospital coming Monday has made me all cranky and i have been all broody and sick. Unable to decide what to do as a last resort i am making
this post... Yes i am DESPERATELY
LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER.


I dont know any of you personally same goes to you too...hence your answer will be
unbiased... Please help me guys its a matter of my career my
life...something that i am supposed to live with for my entire life...


PLEASE HELP ME.

First of all plz chill down and think bout this in a cool mind. Then talk to ure parents just like Farhan did. Remember Amir's words, jab tum life me aakri stage me aonge n then u feel ke kash us din thodi himmath hothi to kya hojatha. Life badal jathi. If u have a degree to back u then there's NOTHING wrong in taking a risk. But first of all plz think bout it again.😊

yaar same case with me. My dad wants me to become an iitjee engineer and he is very strict. I want to join acting school and i'm gud at acting. But he will never allow me. Engineering is not my passion, i want to work in industry, but my parents don't care about my dreams

you are not alone in this predicament. i know many ppl who are forced to take up course due to parental pressure. You have already given 5 yrs or i don't know how many in the place u did ur degree, but still if you are forced to continue, it will really affect you as a person. there are ppl who though forced to do a course they don't like, after a time, they are ok with it. they may not have d passion, but still as it is the only thing they know, they end up continuing in the same profession. they might succeed (i mean financial success only) but will never feel passionate or happy in their profession. I know a girl who completed her B.E for her parents' sake, but now has taken up chef course in Italy. cooking is her passion. when i asked her why she wasted 4 yrs of her life, she said that is for my parents, but its my time.

coming to your situation, its high time you take a stand. i don't advise you to fight with your parents, but try to make them see ur point of view. its not going to be easy, but if u don't do it now u'll never do it. but u also need to be clear what u want to do in ur life. u said that u wanted to be in entertainment field. but in what field? if you are a young girl which parent will be comfortable with their daughter trying in such a industry. first u decide what u want to do, chk out prospects for it and then talk to ur dad saying see i took up this medical for ur wish, now give me time to do this for myself. even if it is entertainment, we have good courses. ur parents want stability and security for their child. they are doing it in d way they know. you are today's generation. go with concrete info and convince them. hope you are able to convince them! all d best!

sorry for rambling post, but ur situation is similar to many ppl i know n for some it has ended in a bad way. so i feel strongly abt this situation.

i don't believe you guys what a topic are you child i think i saw many popular and good active and can say successful personalities in life who are involved in different profession at a time i think if some one is doctor or engineer he or she can do another work with their own interest first complete your study your parents wish because you expand your many years for this study second you can take a part in extra curriculum activities for your interest but after completing study you can do work in both fields yes its true doctor or engineer are some time full time job but you can join part time too, or some clinick option etc. i saw many writiers who wrote fiction, act, write books or serious issues etc. are belong to engineering or medical fiels. you should manage how to learn and how to work in both field. i think human mind has that much power to control his/her self if he/she take decission.

Wow I feel like you are at a tug of war with yourself and pleasing your parents! In my opinion before you jump to any conclusions, pray about it. Yes, God will help you make the right decisions in your life. He will guide you in the right direction.

At the same time, if you are meant to be a doctor and want to continue to make your parents happy then by all means, finish what you've started and enjoy your career as a doctor.

However, If your hearts desire is to not be a doctor then you need to be honest, first with yourself and then with your parents and explain to them why you feel this way. Either way, i'm sure that you will make the right decision.

Sometimes, pleasing every one else is not as important as being happy with being yourself! I wish you good luck in your future endeavors and keep us posted. Be confident and bold in your stand and take care of yourself! God bless!

~SiMi~
