Medicine or Music?

Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted to go into medicine. I would watch all the shows on TV and think to myself "I'm going to be a doctor or a nurse one day and save someone's life." I went all through out high school taking the medical career pathway classes and loved every second of them. I got to college and started taking my core classes thinking I would soon be in the nursing program at my school, but after I finished my third semester of class I no longer have that same dream.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. Now, I don't play any instruments or sing very well or write any decent songs, but I really would love to have a career in the music industry. I don't want to be a face someone sees in the tabloids or on the news, but rather someone who is behind the scenes of it all. Producing music would be the dream. Seeing how all of my favorite songs have come together. From the creating the music and the words to recording and getting the music out to the people. Help creating the music that I love.
I went to my parents about this change of heart and they don't seem to support my change of major for school. Now I know that they are like any other parent and want me succeed in life and be able to support myself especially since my dream city is Los Angeles, but they could at least try to support me and not try to force me to continue in a nursing degree right? My friends and my extended family think music production is something I would be great at, especially since music is something I love and have a burning passion for, but my parents don't seem to think it's a great idea. They want me to continue with nursing and get a degree, then if music is still something I wish to pursue then go back to school and get a degree. But why waste the money on a program for a degree in a field that I no longer have a passion for? Wouldn't that be a waste of time and money? Shouldn't I have a love and passion for a career that I am going to be doing for the rest of my life? But it's like with every little thing in my day to day life, my parents are still trying to make little efforts to keep me on the nursing track.
Now I haven't changed my major yet, and I'm taking some time off school to try to figure out exactly what it is that I want to do with my life. During my time off school, I'll be participating in the Disney College Program. So while I'm working for the happiest place on Earth, I'll be searching for my place in the business world, rather that be with nursing or music or something completely different.
I guess the point of this post is to tell others who are in a similar situation to follow their dreams. We only have one life and one chance to do it right, so why not make the most of it? Who cares if you don't want to go to college and be a big shot for a big business? Do what you love. Make yourself happy first and once others see you enjoying your life they will soon follow. Now they may not approve, hell they may never approve, but don't let that keep you from following your dreams. Go out there in the scary world and make the most of your life.
