My mum wants Nursing. She says it's stable, there will always be sick people, and she knows nurses who have built good lives. My dad wants Engineering. He says it's the future, infrastructure is growing, and he knows a guy who earns well. My older brother says forget both of them and do Computer Science because everything is going digital anyway. None of them are wrong. That's the problem. I sit in this house listening to all three of them talk and I leave every conversation more confused than I entered it. The portal isn't even open yet and I already feel like I've disappointed someone. Has anyone navigated this without it turning into a whole family conflict?
