Selmanito, if I were you I would try to get out on my own. Certainly after going to boarding school and getting a Business and Marketing Degree you have many marketable skills and the ability to take care of yourself. Your parents only have so much power over you as you give them.

Joely is right, no matter what you do someone can find fault in it, many times it's your parents sadly. I believe you will feel better inside yourself if you move out and take care of yourself and follow your own passions and goals. Many parents will come around once they see that you can handle things for yourself. If not, you will still be no worse off than you are now. You can just listen to them, say "I'll take your advice into consideration" and then do what is best for you.
