Hello guys
im 20 years old from a 3rd world shithole please excuse and expect any grammatical errors from here
i just graduated with an associate degree (i know who the fuck wastes their time getting such a useless degree but we'll get to that later)
and im from a middle class family but as things currently are now, my family have ran into so many debts and internal problems
so my parents asked me, not directly but they're suggesting implicitly that i stop studying and convincing me that what i've achieved is enough to land me into some nice job here where the pay is shit and standards are too high
basically the jobs they want for me and MY ONLY OPTIONS are Call Centers (no im not from india) and a work abroad in japan or korea as a factory worker or a welder
now im not being picky but i don't want to do any of that and be stuck with those jobs for the rest of my life
They don't want me to apply for low tier jobs because being a middle class family their expectations for me is quiet high and there's some sort of competitions among families here which is whose children has the best jobs
now i don't know what to do with my life
i want to continue my studies for various reasons like what i studied is my passion and i want to learn more about it (web designing, graphics designing, blahblah) and i can't get my dream job or at least get my foot on the door with an associate degree
so TL;DR
from 3rd world shithole, family facing financial problems, my studies are affected, they want me to apply for shitty jobs, i want to continue studying
How do i convince them to let me continue my studies?

bump :'(

should i just go accept the job abroad (dont worry weabs i wont taint the jap genes im too socially autistic to socialize)
or there's a chance that i can convince my parents to keep on investing on my education even though they're clearly against it (the face they made when i insisted ONCE that i want to keep studying suggests that they really don't want to support me on this path)
call centers fucking sucks i've already applied on one and i bombed the interview

Do part time. Get a job that maybe low tier for the moment, and just juggle studies with work. You may take longer to get through school, but at least your parents will be satisfied for the moment with the extra income. The more schoolwork you accomplish, the better off you'll be long term.

Get the best paying suck ass job you can BUT keep studying. You can buy books that will show how to do Web Development and graphic design. Dedicate your free time to gaining the necessary skills for career advancement. Don't look at the job you get as a career it is just a temporary gig.

Get a job wherever you can and save money. Help out your parents, but also save money if you want to keep going to school. Maybe taking evening classes or being part time.
If web development is your passion you might not even need a degree.

You don't need a degree for web design or graphics or anything in related fields. These are careers you can land based on your skill alone by displaying a portfolio of your past work.

Fuck what your parents think, do what your heart tells you
