Hello there, I was wondering how oculd you pursuade your parents to give you money for a business that you're going to start.

So far my plan is to build everything I needed to start the business. (The website, the game, the bugtracker, the whole nine yard)

And than pursuade my parents to give it a try. They believe that college is the best way to start earning big bucks and think you should focus on school.

I, however, have other plans. I want to start a business so I don't have to search for a programming job to feed myself when I get out of college(And that mean higher chance violating my hacker ethic). And pay for college myself(I just see it as a place to further my education rather than enabler for a job)

My prority in life put school second, and put education and start-a-business first. So I can support my parents so they don't have to work so hard, as well as being independent, and also let me program games without actually violating my hacker ethic.

I have backup plans to get the money I needed. But I would like to see if I can pursuade my parents if possible.
