Eric is being pressured by his family to move back home to Malaysia to work in the family business.
But he wants to stay in Australia and work when he finishes his university course in June next year. Here’s what he says:
“I have always wanted to live in Australia and find a job and live the life that I want. My parents on the other hand want me to work for the family business back in my hometown in Malaysia. I [originally] told mom that I wasn’t interested and she said that was ok. But recently, under dad's influence, mom is pressuring me to go back by constantly reminding me that working for the family business is the best option I have."
He says he is confused and not sure what to do. He wants to be happy on the one hand, but doesn't want to disappoint his family on the other. Should he do what his parents want him to do? Or forge his own career and stay in Australia?
