Do the course you feel you have the ability and interest to deal with now.  But, you should also consider your parents' wish. Think about it seriously, they may have observed something in your behavior and attitude which influenced their decision. They may be looking at the bigger picture which eludes you at this time. Have discussions with your parents, and try to win them over if you feel so strongly about it. Perhaps you could ask a relative or friend to point out the long term benefits in terms of job opportunities and financial returns.
