[introspective1]

If you make a decision that someone doesn't agree with( like your friends or family), do you argue with them about the decison and continue with your decision? I feel like sometimes i make decisions that my friends or family don't approve of and sometimes i let their opinons influence me. I know that it's my life and i have to do what makes me happy. I just want to know what to do when you make a decision and someone tells you that its wrong to follow that course of action..do you try to get them to see why you are right? how do you get them off your back?

Example: I am about to graduate from college and i am trying to get into sports marketing. My hometown is not anywhere near where i live now or want to live after graduating. My brother thinks i should move back to my hometown because he thinks i will have better opportunities to get into the field that way because the amateur sports teams their tend to hire entry level college grads. However i told him, that i could find those types of jobs all over the country, but for some reason he thinks i have a better shot at getting a job in my hometown...however, i have told him that i have no intentions of moving back there. He said, "well you don't always get to choose your location". I feel as though i CAN choose a job wherever i want (for the most part) because life is all about choices, but i couldn't get him to see my point about my decision not to return home after college and I was very upset that he tried to argue me out of my decision
