How Do I make my dad understand I want a career not just a job?
I am 24 years old. I have been doing seasonal work in Mallorca since I was 18. I was planning to go to Main Land Spain this Summer as I did not want to return to Mallorca. However my plans fell through. I have usually returned to a job in the winter after my stint in Mallorca. However this winter. I could not get my job back due to management changes and issues beyond my control so I signed on. As i was planning to go to Spain I worked a Part Time job in a cafe for 10 hours a week or so until the boss started to mess about and the hours and cr@p she dished out were not worth while.
When my plans of going to Spain did not work out I thought i would go spend the Summer in Skegness (I live in Bradford) with a friend. She was part way through moving house and things were going slow so I knocked that on the head.
Now I want a career not just a job. I want to get into Youth Work but it is a slow process how do I get my dad to understand. I don't feel I am wrong at wanting a good future.
Answers:
it's understandable that you want to have your dad understand what your needs are. the best thing to do is to sit him down and talk. a few tears may help(i'm not kidding)! make him realize the importance of a strong founded career, that will carry you through life. a "job" will not give you the same satisfaction, or probable stability. often parents dont get our vision of the world, but u've got to try your best to make them understand.
if they still dont support you, it's because they r too stuck up in the memories of their own hardships.not becos they want you to suffer!! if the situatuoin becomes like this, let go!!
you don't have to make him understand anything, its your life not his. If he has a problem, hes gotta deal with it, not you.
Take it from me, you are in control of your own destiny. Yes, you love and respect your father and do not want to disappoint him, but this is your life. You are the only person who will be living your life. I have learned that you really should love what you do.
Up to now it looks you have done a lot, seen a lot had a lot in the main achieved not a lot, so don't blame your dad if he doesn't understand. Don't convince show him the end result.
not neccessary to make anyone understand. waste of energy. use your energy to make your dreams happen, not explain them. parent dont understand anyway. do what you want and got to do.
try showing him this question and the way you have phrased things, and the answers you have got. maybe then he will understand.
I think that your dad is worried about you. It's just coming out all wrong. He wants to protect you, but can't. It's pretty obvious that you are not settled, and your dad probably doesn't understand the modern female. Things having changed so much in recent years.
