When Your Career Dreams Scare Your Parents

If you were raised by African parents, you certainly can relate to the career stories the hosts of the No Collar Podcast tell of their own journeys and tease out of their different interviewees.

The podcast’s tagline is “Careers that freak our parents out. Mama-Yo-Weh!”

Parents who immigrate to another country are often in search of a better future for their children. They believe such a future lies in providing their children with a college education in specific majors that will position them to get the most stable, well-paying jobs currently available in the market. Often, the parents’ expectations clash with their children’s passions, setting the stage for varying degrees of conflict and subterfuge.
