As a Dad, who would do this?
Forums › General Discussion › As a Dad, who would do this?-
My dad just told his children, me included, that their career choices are bogus. My dad says that engineers and lawyers will not make anything in the future. He also called all of Americans hypocrites when he is one. He proceeded to call me, his son, gay because I am single, call all of Americans stupid, and changed the subject every time he was being beaten and telling us that we were missing the point that is yet to be given. Apparently, my father rates money over happiness, as I could tell from what he said next. He told us that the only way he would pay for our college is if we became venture capitalists. Obviously he thought that we shared views, because he thought that the money would make us change our career entirely. He also doesn't know me, shown by his complete disregard of my happiness and future. Making someone be who they dont want to be is like ending a life early and laughing at its misery in hell. As a parent, would you do the same?

Also, he called his children who each have 150+ IQs idiots and that we were wasting our minds not being what he wanted.

A lot of people are utterly confused these days. It's not his fault. Things just really are getting more and more irrational.

He is part of the illuminati

See my dad is the complete oposite of yours. He tells me i waste my time, im to smart for that, money isnt everything etc etc

Lawyers and engineers can make very good money, so I don't get why he doesn't like your choices!??
-
Well I wouldn't!

When I told my dad I wanted to be a firefighter he told me I should get a "real job", meaning requires a college degree. So ......... I went to a really expensive private college for a year, got on their volunteer fire dept, and then flunked out of said expensive college. All on his dime. Not proud, just what happened. Ended up going to a community college and getting an associates in fire science. Made honors the whole time once I was taking what I was interested in.

Sister's is 151.
Mine is 159.
He called us idiots and said that IQ didnt matter, then that we were wasting our IQ (which doesnt matter according to him) being lawyers and engineers. -

And Tweek, I know its not just math, but that still doesn't let me ask other people their opinion without saying something. What I was talking about when I said that is that I can't find out the general opinion on this myself (last part of what he said.) When it comes down to it, IQ is everything from math to emotions. -
You seem like a very gifted individual, I hope all things work out, and just try to block out the useless nonsense that he tells you. With an IQ as high as yours, and your intelligence, I suspect you would be able to obtain almost any career. I hope things end well for you and your sister. I have had a similar experience to you, and have been told by people how much my intelligence is useless. They are wrong. You are right. I wish you the best of luck in whatever your future holds, and what you can accomplish.

Ignorance is bliss. You go on thinking that you can get by in this world based on your happiness.

Dont worry about it man, do what you want, my dad isn't really giving me an option to go to college etc but it's because he wants what's best for me, but I know he's behind me in almost anything I wanted to do. Your dad just wants the best for you and thinks he had everything down to the science, maybe he will realize what he's doing. Until then, go for what you want! And like they say it's better to make a lower ammount of money doing what you love instead of more money doing what you hate.

Yeah, sure, life is much harder once your out on your own. But none of us realized that untill later. Not his fault. He sounds like a very respectable and intelligent human being.Shut up you cry baby ass tween you complaining on here proves your gay
I know he used big words, correct spelling and grammar. I realize you are incapable of comprehending the extremely valid point he so coherantly expressed here, but that's no way to speak to someone. You sound like a total fucking moron.
Btw, so what if he was gay, which he is not (that I'm aware of), how does one come about "sounding gay"? (leave "lisp" jokes at the door)

You'll be in college soon, so why sweat it? Water off a ducks back! Get a part time job n buy him a nice big cup of STFU! Petty problems really, if u think about it.
