My parents dont want me to be a doctor or anything else. They just want me to be a nurse. Opinions?
Actually im a 2nd yr college student now. Taking up Nursing. my two other siblings are already nurses. Both didnt have a choice too. Ever since i was a child i was never asked of what my ambition in life is. My parents are simply DICTATORIAL. They told us to take nursing then after, "we can do whatever we want." So i graduated high school, i automatically enrolled for nursing. Now i love the medical world. My dad said before to skip manila. Cause im from a province. And now I said i think i wanna pursue medicine in Manila, Philippines after nursing cause "i thought i can do whatever i want". I belong to a quite rich family. Then my dad said NO. I SAID SKIP MANILA. YOU SHOULD GO ABROAD TO WORK AS A NURSE. So i felt a little discouraged. So my plan is, after graduating, il work abroad, earn enough money, then go back to manila and take up medicine all bymyself. What do you guys think? Am i making the right choice?

Follow your dreams, and do what you want to do. Don't let your parents tell you what you can and can't do. If you want to become a doctor, become a doctor. It's your life, not your parents', and you can do what you want to do with it '

you have to do what you want to do. it's your life. and parents should be supportive of what you aspire for in your life. i say follow your dreams!
4 :
Do whatever you want. When your parents or someone else is paying the bill, you have to do what they say to some extent, but if you are paying the bills, YOU get to choose what to do. Life is a great adventure, so do what you feel your calling is.

Yep... do it... Better still... if you're able to... change RIGHT NOW!!!... Coz time is ticking... and don't waste another monent doing something that you're not passionate about. Tell your father that once you become a doctor, you can work as a nurse if you wanted too... (coz the Doctor is also a qualified nurse!!!). My guess is that you're a girl... And it's unfortunate that in many Asian countries, there is still so much sexism... I think your father is a sexist... he probably believes that all girls should be nurses and all boys to be Doctors. That's what my father was like... He want all his sons to be doctors, and his daughters to be nurses... We fought back.. and so my sisters are now not nurses by IT specialists and podiatrists. I ('m a male and) also fought back, and didn't become a doctor.. So.. in the end, it's your life... and as much as you love your father... he's not the ALL KNOWING person in this world... Start right now... go and ask someone about how to change your course to Medicine right now!!! Good luck

Well, it's YOUR life. When they get old, they'll regret it. Not calling your family dumb, but your siblings should've gone after what they wanted, i'd go with your plan, sounds pretty smart
7 :
You don' t have to become a nurse. Your parents shouldn't control what you want to be. It's your life. Shoot for the moon, and even if you miss, you'll still be amongst the stars.
8 :
You be what you want to be. Either one is a lot of study and lots of long hours and work. Go for what you want.
9 :
Do what you want, not what they want. Live your life to your ambitions, not theirs.

Would it be beneficial if my siblings in Los Angeles will provide me with an affidavit of support from U.S.
Would it be beneficial if my siblings in Los Angeles will provide me with an affidavit of support from U.S.?
I would apply for a tourist visa here in Manila. I was wondering if I would be given an approval if I submit an affidavit of support authenticated by the US Embassy in Los Angeles? Supporting papers would include an invitation letter. I am working for the government (contractual). My status is single, and a degree in Nursing. Thank you so much for your answers! God bless!

No. YOU need to show your intent to return to your home country, including property, bank accounts, job, and family ties. If you're single, and particularly a single female, from the Philippines, you'll have a very hard time overcoming the presumption that you intend to stay in the U.S.
2 :
A Tourist VISA would not permit you to have a job in the U.S. In fact with a tourist visa, having a job would be a crime and you would be immediately deported. You need an H-1B Work Visa. The H-1B Visa enables professionals in "Specialty Occupations" to make a valuable contribution to the American economy. A maximum of 65,000 H-1B Visas are issued every year. The H-1B Visa is issued for up to three years but may be extended. This provides a maximum stay of six years. The H1-B Visa holder can apply for a Green Card if a company wants to sponsor his or her application. If you are working for the government, you should not have any trouble applying for and getting an H-1B Visa. If you are not a professional, and common labor, then you need to apply for H-2B Visa. The H-2B Work Visa was created to allow people to come to the United States temporarily, mainly for non-agricultural jobs, in which the United States workers are in short supply. Up to 66,000 H-2B Visas are issued every year. This year's annual quota has not yet been reached. Prospects are good that H-2B Visas will remain available in future years.

It is a common practice for relatives in the U.S. to assure the visa office that they will provide support to an applicant for a visitor visa. Your relatives could provide you with form I-134 or a letter stating that the will provide you with room & board and spending money, and you could present the form or the letter at your visa interview. One of the basic requirements for eligibility for a visitor visa is showing that arrangements have been made to cover all expenses. A statement to that effect could be included in their invitation letter or it could be a separate letter written to: "To Whom It May Concern" or "Visa Office, Manila" There is no U.S. embassy in Los Angeles. U.S. embassies are outside the U.S.
