Should I choose a major based on what my parents want for me or what I want, even if mine pays alot less?

I want to go into non-profit work, while my parents want me to get a job that pays six figures. #college-major #nonprofits #parents

Is it a good idea to work while attending college full time?

What type of jobs are available for someone to help other countries in need?

I am very anxious to travel the world and would like to help less fortunate countries with systems like their food and water. I also want to set up programs that provide shelter for those in need, but I am unsure if there are actual jobs offered and how to go about getting involved....
