oh crap

so I was discussing jobs I wanted to do in the future with my mum and you may want to read my last journal entry (not worth the trouble..?). Besically I do't want to go to college but my parents ae paying a lot of money for my education and they want me to become something really big and important (like a lawyer or maybe a doctor like them) but i don't want to do that. I don't give a shit about money I'd be happy doing most small jobs. but yeah this is how the convo went (vaguely):

Me: Uhh ma...do you care about what kind of job I get?
Mum: No not really, just as long as you get a job where you can use your skills and do something worthwhile
Me: What do you mean?
Mum: Well, I don't want you becoming something useless that you do just cos it's easy or whatever like stacking shelves or being a hairdresser (no offence to any hairdressers). What are you thinking of?
Me: I dunno.
Mum: You must have thought of something...
Me: Err I dunno maybe go into promotion or advertising
Mum: *slightly happy* ok, advertising's good
Me: yeah, but I was thinking along the lines of like, y'know I like music and I'm good at art i thought I could either design or promote band merch or stuff. It's just i was asking cos i don't really want anything that requires a PHD or anything, like a doctor or scientist or lawyer..
Mum: Why not a lawyer?
Me: It looks boring to me. I wouldn't enjoy it.
Mum: Ok. As long as you get a higher education.
Me: Do i have to?
Mum. *firm voice* YES.
Me: isn't that my choice, not yours?
Mum: I''m sorry but I insist. You have to.
Then i went upstairs and burst into tears. God, i know she wants the best for me but it's like I'm not allowed to live my life!
