he should do his engineering and when he become an engineer then he choose the profession whatever his parents want.
He should follow his passion and do the engineering degree.
Following his parents would mean that he will study engineering. Assuming he can do well, he can fulfill his parents' wish and become an engineering professor. He will teach, and also put his knowledge into practice as a side job, maybe as a consultant or lead his own start up. That way he is an engineer too.
With the blessing of his parents and some hard work, may he be successful and make everybody happy.
HE CAN BECOME A PROFESSOR IN ENGINEERING,SO OBEY PARENTS
Boy should take his own decision to become an engineer.
the boy knows his own interest and must become an engineer
how old is the boy? where does he live? what stream of engineering he wishes to role in.
we need to know these answers before we suggest a reply
The boy shall choose the field in which he is good and in the stream where he has the interest in and confident that he can do well in the same for his career.
HE SHOULD FOLLOW HIS AIM AND BECOME AN ENGINEER. LATER HE CAN DECIDE WHAT PROFESSION TO CHOOSE, BECAUSE CHASING SOMETHING ELSE THAN YOUR EXPERTISE / CHOICE, WOULDNT GIVE ANY POSITIVE RESULTS ON HIS AND THE ORGANIZATIONS FUTURE
thinking in a new way to convince them and keep trying (if you need something you will find the way )
At the end of the day, it's the boy who will work, not the parents. If he doesn't choose something that he is passionate about, then he will grow bored and possibly not continue with that job.
Though in this case, thankfully for the boy, there is a middle ground.
Becoming an engineer and then getting a PhD will allow him to not only work as an engineer, but qualify him to become a Professor. There are many university professors who teach classes on the side of having their own careers, This actually helps with his teaching because he will have the experience and knowledge that can help his students.
