Hi I'm a 28 year Guy from West Bengal. I don't have any confession to make but I'm here to ask for suggestions and ideas and I'm interested to see what anyone of you reading would choose to do in my situation. So here we go. I have been working since 2018 after i dropped out of my BCA degree. Initially i started with bpo, changed 2-4 companies and then in my last company I was promoted to training subject matter expert and then production SME. I never really had any idea about my career as i come from a very difficult childhood, mostly spent years in depressive state due to absolutely poor conditions financially as well as emotionally. So in 2023 i resigned from my job and i Started social media manager and I spent the last 3 years acquiring my skills, developing myself in All the needed aspects, such as communication, sales, creative stuff, business acumen, worked with multiple international clients and so on. I'm also completing my graduation again from open University. However financial enrichment hasn't been there. I have made around few thousand dollars in last 3 years and have seen a lot of setbacks repeatedly yet i didn't quit because this where I thrived emotionally, mentally and I am actually happy with the kind of work I do and with kind of people I have worked with. Now due to this financial instability as I'm still learning a lot of stuff, my parents see me as hard working but equally time wasting person and it's compliacted situation but it's like I'm someone who trying hard but he won't succeed. Now they want me to take up a government job or any other job as many jobs are rolling out and 1-2 relatives have some good connections in politics. I'm a person who likes his independence and have always inclined towards freedom of work, and choose difficult work that's highly critical, challenging. Right now my father is at the verge of retirement and we have no financial safety nor any other kind of safety like Home, we Live in rented house. I have always spent all the money I've earned into my family to keep it afloat. But right now I'm in situation wher on one hand I'm preparing myself to register my business on the other hand my parents wants me to leave this and Walk according to them and sign up for a job be it government or private. I have sacrificed nearly everything in these 3 years, to build this business and yet i haven't seen the success I initially expected but i realised that what I'm trying to do is difficult but not impossible. So right now I'm getting into daily fights with my parents and I'm not sure which would be the right path. The only constant thing I can sense is that if i leave this, maybe I'll earn decent salary but it would 100% destroy everything inside me, all the empathy, Love, commitment I've for my family while i would surely act as nothing has happened. Idk what should I do. Should I continue to build my business or should i leave it and accept what my parents are asking me to do because they 100% dependent on me for their future as they have kept nothing. I will be waiting for your suggestions and replies. Thank you
