I've been out of high school for mmm...oh crap 9 years now. Anyway, I haven't finish college and my dad's on my back about it. I go but um well I'm doing like nuclear-physics type stuff and its hard! My advisors tell me that I'm making good time. Whatever, I feel like I'm too deep in the program to change majors now. So I'm stuck. And my dad doesn't seem to feel me on this. Well he bought me a car (as an insentive) but I've already paid him for three-fourths and now he wants to let my OLDER sister have it for "a few months" while she finishes up her degree, cause I'm only working. I'm pissed to say the least. I don't think I'm in the wrong here. And the pressure really isn't helping. My sister got help to go to the college of my dreams and when I wanted to go there four years ago I was told No! Just cause I don't kick and scream about it.
Well now I'm trying to get a better job so I can really take care of myself and not need their financial help at all. My parents are great but this situation isn't. | |

Get your backside in gear and get out of there. As for pressure, well nothing worthwhile is easily obtained, you have to struggle to get the good things in life.
Hope it works out for you  |

bright people who can handle the math and the concepts, so I will take note of the very big
brain that is obviously pissed off at the moment. On the other hand, and this is the burden
of someone following your long path of study, you end up older and still studying. I'll bet
there are academics you work and study with who have had similar negative experiences to
yours. Talk to your staff friends, and be patient. It sounds to me like you know the reward at
the end of the day will be worth the poverty, other peoples s**t, and sacrifice that goes into
the long tooling up process it takes to do really important and interesting work. I wish you
well, and a Merry Christmas. Keep the faith with what you've started, and don't worry about
minor crap like cars... Its just an object.... |
