What should I do?!?

Question

I am 17 years old and currently in high school. I'm studying to be a programmer and it's going really well. My life goal, the dream that I want to achieve one day is to fully understand C++, a programming language. The thing is, since my mom and dad don't have a lot of money to keep stuff running, my dad begs me to make android apps, to learn something completely different and something that I'm not comfortable with myself..

Should I stop what I like to do and destroy my life goal to sacrifice my career even more and start learning what my dad wants me to do? It's a really tough decision for me because without my dad I'm nothing and nobody :(

Answer

You want to do C++ programming and want to be a programmer. Then in making android apps,programming needs. objective c, .net and so on.

Answer

I am not as old as you (only 14) and I know i'm not feeling the same amount of pressure as you but I think i'm similar to your situation.  I'm not being forced into deciding family or career.  I am having I very hard time knowing what to do in my career path, I know what I want to do but not how to do it.
          My advice to you is to pick family or your career life.  I get how insanely hard that is to do, but you can't throw away your dreams for money, even if it's for family.
