Let me explain what’s going on. My parents got recently disappointed with me, because I voluntarily didn’t made any effort to learn more about their job, they’re into making furniture and own a factory, plus my dad’s a driver, so he has to deliver the merchandise to his clients.
The things is, I really detest their job, I don’t feel any passion for it and I’m simply not interested in it, they finally gave up on me and, basically, set me “free” (Not that I complain, I was hoping for that to happen).
Now here’s another thing, the highest diploma I have is from High School and I know that even College diplomas don’t do much nowadays and going back to College is not an option for me too, because I couldn’t even finish pre-algebra, one of the three main classes that must be completed to earn a diploma (So, even if you earn an A in ALL the classes of the school, that still doesn’t count) and because it started to get WAY too expensive, and complicated too, for me and my family.
Because of all of this, I’m currently planning on just working, and possibly staying, in jobs that are very unappreciative, but that still manage to put bread on the table. Is there something wrong with that? I really don’t think I can get better than that.
Just FYI, I know why my parents are disheartened about all of this. Ever since I was 8-years-old, I was diagnosed with renal insufficiency and for the next 13 years, they busted their asses off for me to get a kidney transplant and be healthy, which finally happened in 2011, I was 21-years-old. They’ve must have set pretty high expectations about me throughout those years, I know parents want their children to surpass them, but is it really hard to understand that that’s not possible with everyone? At least I’m not doing drugs or thinking of killing them. Oh, and one last thing, it was a big coincidence, but every single worker or client that my dad has met that has a son or two, they always worked with their dad. I blame them for my dad setting a dream expectation of me helping him.
Believe me everyone, I do want to help my parents, I want to contribute for the house and my family, just… not like this and they can’t accept it.
I’ll be very appreciative if someone speaks about their jobs experiences, it’ll give me an idea of what I’ll be getting into.
