My parents also wanted me to become a doctor, but I changed my mind. I ended up majoring in economics and political science. And I intend to law school. Andy, eventually you have to decide, becuase if you decide to make your parents happy and you are not happy, it really doesn't cut it. As cliche as it sounds, be what you want.
