Architecture interests me but my parents are forcing me to take engineering. What should I tell them?

Hi Parv, Architecture is Engineering! In fact it is one of the core engineering streams. Explain this to your parents. A lot of things interest us. But, more than interest you should find out whether you are good at it. If you are good at it then go ahead and explain to your parents. Or tell them to at least let you give the entrance exam. Score high in it. Then it'll be easier to make them understand. Crack JEE and take up B. Arch. at an IIT - which I guess your parents treat synonymous with "engineering". It entirely depends on how well you understand and handle the stream and increase your scope of growth. To decide on the course, you should analyse your strengths, career goals, interests, personality, aptitude and ability. If you decide based on these parameters you will put in your best effort and will be successful in your chosen field. Before you decide what to do, it is important that you become aware of a critical factor for success in your chosen profession. Your exam scores are one part of it considering how competitive it is out there. Lack of strong understanding of the basics will hinder your ability to grasp the advanced topics. Depending on your interest you could opt for a course. To pursue the right course you need to evaluate this in light of your own future career aspirations. Once you have clarity in terms of the sort of job you would enjoy, you need to analyze for yourself whether you have the qualifications /skills / practical training necessary to be able to get this. If not, then you may want to look at a course that would help you to work towards your objective. Hope this information helps. Please feel free to revert.
