Today I am going to discuss a blog  post.The post is written by Rabia Butt on Pakpositive.com as a guest post.In her post she realize that why our parents only want us to become a doctor or an engineer.In her post she give reference of his younger brother that wants to become a cook but their parents want to see him as a dentist .Now it is a time to realize that if some students cannot study science at all then their parents should allow them to take other fields like humanities and social sciences.

The post writer concluded the post with the following lines:

"I can only hope that someday our desi parents might get rid of the doctor/ engineer fever and instead open their minds and see other professions with same dignity and respect."
