I got the guilt trip from my parents. Being immigrants who were poor and with me being the 1st in my family to be able to become university educated, they made me feel like I had to do it.
In retrospect, I think that I would have been much happier learning a trade. A friend of mine from highschool was an honour student and had a >90% average. Everyone thought he was going to go to a big university, but instead he became cabinet maker. He makes more money than I can ever hope for with my science degree and professional designation.
