<p>yea u heard me ....any ideas what to do ??</p>
<p>are they paying for your university?</p>
<p>Take the few premed classes you need, but major in business. Then you have all your options open. (And doctors nowadays need to be business people too, or they can't run their practices!)</p>
<p>How old are you? When your young all parents say there kids are gonna be doctors, but once you get older they'll give you more freedom.</p>
<p>Tell your parents to go shove it up their asses.</p>
<p>I second that motion futurenyustudent......</p>
<p>I dont know the rest of you but even the smell of a hospital makes me nauseous...If you dont want to become a doctor...dont....I think your parents should understand if you talk to them about it. Otherwise, threaten to live in their basement and collect comic books for the next 35 years....</p>
<p>I've always found that negotiating with my parents requires several steps.</p>
<p>Start with prewarning them. Warm them up to the idea slowly. Don't make any decisions. Enroll in a premedical class to keep them reassured for the time being. Do not intentionally do poorly, as bad grades will certainly harm your search for a job in the business world, too. (Though the idea would certainly settle the matter if you did poorly enough.)</p>
<p>Make sure you know what you're talking about. Research business careers. Be able to present them with average salaries. Take a practice GMAT. Discuss how the process works. Take a class in economics or business or finance and make sure to do well in it.</p>
<p>Finally, practice explaining to your friends and - very importantly - their parents why you want a career in business. See if you can give them a compelling analysis. Once you can convince them that it's a good idea, start warming up to your own parents.</p>
<p>Become an actor and play a doctor on TV.</p>
<p>And whatever you do, don't be a Business major. They don't end up in business school. If you want to do business (i.e. management, marketing, sales, entrepreneurship, finance, consulting, or whatever), take some academically rigorous major, and meanwhile find yourself some relevant jobs and (especially!) summer internships.</p>
