olivia, guyana AddedThursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:26 PM How do i persuade my parents that i will be able to get a secure job? My parents are pressuring me to do medicine but I have great passion and desire in engineering. The aspect of engineering i like is the part where u invent stuff that are useful to human beings. However, what course to specialize in is really hard to choose. What if i like a little of all the courses? What do i do? How do i persuade my parents that i will be able to get a secure job when i am finished studying?

At least in the US, where a separate bachelor's degree is required before medical school, biomedical engineering is one of the most popular pre-med degrees. It offers a very useful introduction to medicine and biology along with the essential engineering skills. Perhaps a compromise like that would help your parents see the value in it.
