Parents say that only officials or state-owned enterprises can be respected in China. Is it true that doing what you like will only be laughed at?

It's basically a tragedy. Young people may not think the same as your parents, but young girls listen to their parents when they get married, and their parents think the same. ...

Of course, this does not mean that going it alone will definitely be looked down upon. After all, what I can afford is income. One is more income, and the other is stability. Civil servants and employees of state-owned enterprises who have no skills are also "respected" in the eyes of their parents, mainly because their income is stable, and secondly because their income looks average, but there are many welfare/hidden incomes, so they actually earn more.

To sum up, if you are sure that you have a great chance to earn more than small officials and employees of state-owned enterprises, go ahead. It's useless to work for a year or two, but if you are so beautiful for three or five years in a row, your parents or relatives will never underestimate you again. Pay attention to what is the stumbling block in your career. Don't tell family and relatives. Keep their unbeaten image, stick to it for a few years, save some money and save some industry, and they will be relieved.
