Thank you for sharing.
Definitely it would be much better for the young man to work in sociology and creative fields. But as of 1989 he showed weakness and went along with his parents wishes. Later he will want to finish just Masters but under their pressure he will get a PhD.
Now I am an unpaid intern in the fifth year. I have very little chance of getting a job as anyone will see that I do not like math. And at 44 I am still dependent on my parents.
