[quote=Anonymous]I think if you were old enough and mature enough and confident enough in your choices to commit to getting a PhD, you would have one polite discussion with your parents about this, out of respect for them. You would hear out their concerns, explain your logic without being defensive, and call it a day. And after that, you would mentally put them on mute and gently change the subject when they brought it up. The fact you care this much about your parents approval of your decision to get a degree you believe they don’t understsand says you aren’t mature enough to make the decision in the first place, or that deep down believe they are right.
