Parents should support their children who have who have a certain interest other than academic studies too if there is potential for success....without the support it is difficult for the children to achieve their dreams. My nephew took up music playing the guitar at International College of Music in Setapak then he got a scholarship to continue at Berkeley College of Music in Boston. For the past 3 years he is in the backup band for Beyonce and is now married to a Japanese.

Haha.....but maybe your parents did not have the chance or the financial backing like you do? Maybe they think you have a better chance then them in becoming a doctor? But if you are willing to work hard and succeed in something that you like then why not? But you have to explain to your parents politely and tactfully cos you still need their blessing and their support.
