Um, what is wrong with your father?
"I'm not proud of my son at all. He became a pharmacist. I brought him up wrong."
Talk about ridiculously high standards and/or expectations. Most parents in this country would be flipping proud for their children to be in a DOCTORAL program, no matter what kind. Half of the kids in this country still dont even go to college, so your dad needs a proper dosage of reality (no pun intended).
I thought about being a doctor for about, 5 minutes. I have the intelligence, and the grades to be a physician, and the motivation to be a damn good one. Problem? I just don't want to be a physician, it just doesn't catch my fancy.
