Always being tormented by people for choosing the wrong profession

When I was in high school, I was a good student in Maths, Physics and Chemistry. After high school, my family wanted me to take the pedagogical exam or a technical school, the reason being that I was less communicative and a bit clumsy. However, I want to be able to get rich later, so I studied economics even though I don’t know if it’s suitable or not. After graduating from college, I didn’t know what to do for five years. I went to study more computer science and worked for a few small companies, the income was not enough to live on. In those days, my family was very worried and identified me as a burden.

>> Regrets for choosing the wrong career

Fortunately, in 2009, I returned to my hometown, through the relationship of my brother-in-law, I applied for a job at a bank with a modest position. I work very hard, so far I have strived for more than 10 years to become a manager at the bank. My actual job is very stressful but so far it is fine. However, when I returned to my hometown, my siblings and especially my mother were still not satisfied, thinking that I chose the wrong profession. People always say that I can only do this because I have a family to support me, but now I’m more successful when I go to pedagogy. Whenever work is difficult, people torment me, making me not want to go back to my hometown anymore. I don’t understand why people still hold that prejudice.
