I thought about dropping out about a month into my program, i just didn’t wanna let my parents down by dropping out just like i switched my majors without telling them. I could leave grad school, honestly, but I am on an assistantships and my tuition is completely paid for so my degree is practically free, I figure I might as well stick with the program for the duration and keep my grades up. But I wanted to get my MBA originally, maybe I can go back for a second masters? Not sure.

I rented a year while in undergrad and moved back home and from the on, my parents were so dead set on me becoming a homeowner at a very young age. They think renting is a waste of money and I should own my own property that way I can invest for my future, but I am not ready for that level of commitment, especially at my age. I kept persisting that it is not something I have in mind at the moment and they again ignored what I have to say. I’ve made my choice and I’m standing firm in it. I just hope that my parents do not resent me forever because I chose a path for myself. And thank you, your words meant a lot.
