hm. that sucks. if you do humanities you should still have a direction. its possible they fear that if you do humanities that you be directionless. but that isn't necessarily the case. and you'll hafta explain them that.

sadly, many immigrant parents don't value the arts. so don't be surprised. its quite common in many many families. you'll hafta be bold, and stick to what you enjoy the most. if you enjoy it, you will excel at it.

after i did engineering, i did a teaching degree, and i did hafta hear it from my dad, about how useless, a teaching degree was. but, honestly, that 'arts' education was one of the best decisions of my life. in high school i took both histories and sciences, so it can be done. maybe just limit your sciences to like a one or two that you can handle to just appease the parents and fill the rest with arts.

also, discuss your goals with them too. tell them what you're planning and thinking.

communicate.
