Your parents want what’s best for you… usually. And that means making sure that you do what you love for a living.

Or maybe it’s what THEY want you to do for a living?

Yeah, these 11 people open up about their parents’ dissatisfaction with their current careers, and it ain’t pretty….

So sit back, relax, crack open your favorite beverage… and read the s**t out of these confessions. Because they are juicy.

We sincerely hope these confessions remind you to follow your heart, and not your parents dreams.

I mean, who wants to follow their parent’s dreams anyway. That SUCKS.

And yes, you might have overbearing parents… but it’s your life. And you’ve only got one.

Live yo life, ya’ll!
