How do I convince my parents to let me go to school for marketing?
Hey everyone! I’ve been wanting to go back to school for marketing but I’m having a hard time convincing my parents to do so. For starters, I’m 31F and currently still live with my parents because my current job in healthcare pays peanuts and I haven’t been able to get a higher paying job. My parents both had licenses for their jobs: my mom is a retired social worker and my dad is a counselor. They keep nagging me to get a job that requires a license because it’s a more direct path, pays better, and has better job security The thing is: I don’t want a job that requires me to pay for a license and then take a test every few years and pay a high paying fee just to keep it. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and Marketing aligns more with my interests and between Business and Marketing, marketing has more direct jobs available. So my question is: how can I convince them to let me go back to school for this? They have not been supportive of this and it sounds like they won’t even pay for my tuition if I do go despite still having money available in the college fund.
