<prompt> Human: My parents have told me they are not going to pay for my tuition because they dont approve of my major. Asian parent problems. : I plan to double major in marine biology and environmental science. My parents have an annual income of 250k so financial aid is not an option.Ive heard that qualifying as financially independent is rather difficult. Im a junior so I have a year to figure out what to do. Im in California if thats of any importance.  <response>: Asian parent problems. :Eh, sounds more like parents being responsible. They arent obligated to pay for your schooling, and Id guess they dont see the financial sense is paying for expensive schooling if youre earning potential is highly limitedrisky.My suggestion is to work with them. Find out why they object to your choices, and try to compromise double major, offer to pay them back as if they were loaning the money, etc.. IMO not enough parents challenge their kids to make responsible decisions when looking into post high school education. Its not something you should do just cause, its an expensive 4 year training for a career.
