You have to do what you want to do, it's your life and it's for you to live. Your parents will always have your best interests at heart but they should not try to get you to do something that you won't enjoy. If you did the course at uni the chances are that you wouldn't get a job working in that industry as it is not what you want to do. Save yourself the time and go with what your heart tells you now. Your parents have raised a clever girl, they will understand.

Defiantly with what you want to do. You should explain to your parents that you appreciate that they only want the best for you but its a decision you have to make on your own. If you don't follow your heart and do what you want you may only end up resenting your parents later in life and you will not enjoy your time at university as much as you would doing something you wanted. I have just started uni and I'm having the best time, and it helps that im enjoying the course im on as well.

You go with what you want to do! your parents may want to advise you but you have more chance of success if you are studying something you enjoy and actually 'want' to do! It is your life! My daughter will be applying for Uni next year and will offer my advice but at the end of the day it has to be her decision.....Good Luck with your choices! the world is your oyster! lol

No harm exploring the full range of options but ultimately it will be your degree, you have to attend the lectures and do the work for three years, so you have to do what appeals most to you. Your parents might have other ideas but ultimately they will surely want you to do well in what you want to do rather than pursue what they want you to do and end up either dropping out because you don't like it or not doing as well because you are not as passionate about it. Still, try and involve them and take them along to open days, and try and get them to see why your chosen subject appeals to you and what you think it might lead to in the long-term.

You obviously love your parents very much, otherwise you would not be asking this question.
May I suggest a good old fashioned heart to heart discussion with your parents.
Explain to them your reasons for wanting to do your own thing, but try to re-assure them you will always be there for them.
We all have to move on, and for parents this can be a very difficult time.

You will not enjoy uni if you don't do the course you choose. Uni doesn't revolve (as most people assume) completely around social activities- you need to enjoy your course or you won't benefit from uni as you should.

do what you want you should be happy. Talk to your parents say that you dont want to do the course that they want you to do,
If you start uni doing a course that they want you to do your not exactly going to try hard because you dont want to do it.
In the long run its your life your going to have to get a career with your qualifications make it something that going to make you happy.
Whats so bad about you doing your own thing anyway?
Whats so different about the two courses?

Do what you want to do, because if you don't, you'll one day regret it. Your parent smay be disapointed, but its not about them, its about what you want to do with your life. Yous hould come first in this decision and do something you know you will enjoy, rather than something you won't that your parents may have choose.

Doesn't it boil down to who's paying for it.
I see the advice, telling you to follow your own heart or you'll regret it. It may be so, but how much university education can you afford on your own, if the folks cut off your funding?
Your question may end up being "Will I regret dropping out because mum and dad won't pay to let me study **** flute?"
Just make sure you don't wast a good university education. My son, an amazingly talented musician, classically trained guitarist and brilliant song writer went in as a music major. Half way through he was asking himself what kind of career was this preparing him for. He switched to a communications major, graduated, and has been working steadily for 10 years.
He works out his "performance bug" by participating with a local improve troupe, and teaching improve, part time.
I knew a guy who received a Master of Arts in ceramics. 40 years later, he's still making mugs and selling them at craft fairs.
