Hello!


Thank you for choosing CareerGuide.com and writing to us. I am glad you approached us to take the right decision suitable for you. In my opinion, I always vote for any decision that stems from our own heart. We know ourselves better rather others knowing about us, even it could be parents or siblings. As said, do whatever your heart tells you to do. But does it not seem necessary to tell your parents that you are going to pursue something you love to do? Unless you tell them, they wont be feeling convinced.

First and foremost please ask yourself what interests you in English and what with Economics. you have given names of two subjects you like but can you narrow it down to say which subject you love the most? I advice you to explore your personality first. Please take the 'personality test' available on our website here. It help you to understand your personality more better. You can also sign up for a career report based on your personality. I advice you to do this so that once you obtain your career report for your own, you can get more clarity. It will also help your parents understand what personally suits you well and with this information they could support you the best all your life.

As said please take the personality test and obtain the career report. Next ask yourself where you want to see yourself in next five years. You can draw a flow chart mentioning what you can do with an English degree, an Economics degree and an Accounts degree. See what keeps inspiring you as you draw the chart for each subject. This will put you more inclined and drawn towards the subject you love. Above all it is very necessary for you to sit down with your parents and hold a healthy chat. You need to develop and demonstrate effective negotiation skills right form here. Talk to them openly about your love for your favourite subjects and why you wanted to study them. I am sure if you behave maturely, they will be definitely convinced with your decision.

I wish you very good luck for your future endeavours.
