Hi Hritik, you are in the same situation as i was 8 years ago. I signed up just to answer your question. It is very important that you know; you can secure a progressive future in any field if you are interested and if you really Love it. There is a greater chance of failure due to lack of interest, which you will encounter over time if you pursue something that you don't like. Your parent's preachings' are not backed by facts they are mostly backed by opinions which they obtain from relative and friends, those opinions don't hold any value. Factually speaking in India engineers don't have jobs, most of them flee to USA and it got crowded there as well. So, Somehow you have to convince your parents. Collect some Facts and Data about Psychology and The Demand For psychologists. There are many ways to convince them if you are willing to. Tell them about Great Psychologists Like BF Skinner and Explain how you will Help others by pursuing Psychology. DO whatever you can to convince them. Don't give up my dear friend. This is one life and Don't give up. To learn how to Influence and win others to your thinking i advise you to read "How to win friends and influence people" and Think and Grow rich.
