Is computer support a good career choice?

Dad doesn't support my career choice?

  • Tonight i had a talk with my dad about my career choice and he's completely against it.I want to be in culinary arts,cooking,baking and decorating.I realize its not a medical job like a veterinarian technician which is what i wanted to be before.but i love to bake and cook and it makes me happy plus its not a bad job.It makes good enough money.Its not like its a dead job,its growing.I don't understand him.He says cooking is like working at mc Donald's and its minimum wage its stupid and all sorts of negativity.I tried to tell him its what i want to do with my life.I just live with my dad my moms not in the picture so its hard.I don't know what to do.i want to pursue my love but it hurts not having support from him.Im not sure what i can say to him to change his mind.what do i do?

  • Answer:

    hi! i know what you are going through. okay, so I want to be an actress, singer, and dancer. I have pretty much devoted my life to this. i live with my mom, who is semi-okay with this. well, because of my complicated schedule, I decided to start homeschooling through an online school. my father has never really asked me about my lifestyle choice, so I didnt tell him. well, one day, he called and cussed me out. he seriously psychoed out on me because he found out i was homeschooling. i was so upset and lost and felt horrible and like i was a failure for wanting to be what i want to be. my dad just kept denying the fact that i am who i am and i dont want to be a lawyer or a doctor. my dad continues to deny who i am and we haven't talked in months. but, I have to step back and let him see how much these 3 things mean to me. i would suggest doing this also, just give your dad a writted letter of everything you have ever wanted to say, and then take a step back :) you are who you are

In the end, it is your life. Would you rather have your dads job and HATE your life? Or would you rather pick teh job you want and love your life. and love going to work everyday. if your dad is a good person, he will support you i nthe end.

Honestly, these types of question always boil down to one thing. "What do YOU want for YOU?". If cooking makes you happy, go for it and commit to it. If you really believe that it will be the career you will enjoy don't let a single person or obstacle to get in your way. Live your dreams : )

This is YOUR career. The culinary arts is a fabulous way to go. If you love this, you can bet it won't seem like work. Your dad should support you. Top chefs, executive chefs, Sous chefs, and the like make very good money. You don't need to change HIS mind. Stick to what you want to do.

You need to do what you want to do. Your dad is being stubborn and he doesn't realize that he should support you for this. You're right, it really isn't a bad job. And sicne it makes you so happy it's perfect for you! One day when you're a chef at a five star restaurant, then he'll see.

Go with what you really want bcuz then your not going to like your jo later on. The only thing to do is work real hard and become the best baker or cheff you can be and at the end I'm pretty sure he is going to be proud and apologize.

Tell h that you love him very much but this is what you want to do and if he is not okay with that tell him that you understand and love him anyway but this is what you are going to do

Sierra

So what if you don't have his support, you won't change him, so do what you want.

It's Ur life!!!!!!!! Make the best of it!!!!! Ur dad is probably just worried about u

Show him how much you love cooking and how you really want it to be your job in the future. Show him that you're good enough to stand on your own feet and how you'll promise you'll never beg him for money... (if you say that, he'll be relieved..). Join contests, and try winning from 1st to 5th place. Or ask him if it can be a part time job and show him how much you're dedicated to it. If not... it's time to ask people who know you love cooking for help. Maybe they can show your dad how much you love cooking. You could maybe even have a baking sale near your house or at a park near his work and show him how good you are by selling them. More people= more how dad realizes it's your dream to bake. hope i helped :)
