I was informed that if I didn't major in something other than music, my parents wouldn't pay either. I double majored in music and broadcast journalism. It damn near killed me and I'm meaning that in a very literal way. Some parents can't accept that their children have different life plans.
Of course, I say this as someone who was grateful that I was pushed to do something other than music as I found my true passion in college (writing/journalism/photography). I'm grateful but still balk at being told what I can and cannot do.
